We are an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ. It is with the spirit and the love of God that we openly welcome all persons, inclusive of every race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and inclusive of any others, to journey with us as we move forward with the work of this church in the world.
The annual stewardship pledge is our yearly commitment by each member of our church community to support the church by prayerfully donating a portion of our annual income to the church. Our theme this year is focusing on being “Stewards of God’s Gifts”. For Christians, this means managing the resources God brought into our lives and to use them to honor Him. One of those gifts is the income that each of us receives. Returning a portion to the church allows our community to continue to be stewards for God.

GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK
SINGLE-USE PLASTICS
If the plastics industry were a country, it would be the fourth largest emitter of fossil fuels in the world, according to the Ocean Conservancy. As we shift away from fossil fuels for energy and transportation, the plastics companies are turning to single-use plastics to sustain fossil-fuel-based models. Plastic is so convenient, and we have gotten very used to using something once and then disposing of it. Many plastics cannot be recycled, and tons of plastic (which never totally disappears) ends up in our oceans and rivers, often in the form of microplastics. Is there one way in which each of us can eliminate or limit our use of single-use plastic containers?
