The Strengthen the Church National Offering reflects the shared commitment of people across the United Church of Christ to cooperatively build up the UCC.   Conferences and the national setting equally share the gifts given by members and friends through their local congregations.   The funds raised support leadership development, new churches, youth ministry and innovation in existing congregations.

As God calls our congregations to be the church in new ways, your generosity will plant new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches and develop the spiritual life in our youth and young adults.

The Strengthen the Church Offering will be received on Pentecost, Sunday, May 28, 2023. The offering can be made now through June 4, 2023.

You can make your donation in one of two ways:

1).  You can write a check payable to Desert Palm UCC.  Make a note on the memo line for Strengthen the Church and place in offering or send to the office.

2).  You can use the ‘Give’ feature on the DPUCC website.   Go to the ‘Donation option’ and from the drop-down box you will be able to select Strengthen the Church to make your contribution.

Thank you, Desert Palm, for your financial generosity to this important offering.

Yours, Marie Parsey
