Heart of Texas Association Spring Meeting @ Sat Apr 30, 2022 10am – 1pm (CDT)

There will be a zoom option (more info coming) but we hope that as many that are able and willing to come in person will as there is a possibility that we will have 1) an ecclesiastical council and 2) the welcoming of a church new start into full membership.

Please plan on attending and/or sending your church representatives so we can meet quorum, but even more importantly, we can live as fully and joyfully into our covenantly relationship.

Upcoming Stewardship Webinars

Submitted by Rev. Phil Hodson, SCC Conference Minister

As we move through these unusual times in the life of the church, one of the challenges I’m hearing in many of our congregations surrounds giving. Our friends in the Wisconsin Conference have created a series of online stewardship courses to help congregations consider these concerns, and I encourage you to check them out! Each opportunity has a unique registration button so that you can select those most relevant to your local church. These are offered at no cost, and I hope you’ll be able to participate!

  • APR 27 – 3 BEST PRACTICES FOR INCREASING GIVING
  • MAY 25 – MATCHING GIFT CHALLENGES
  • JULY 27 – BUILDING AN ENDOWMENT
  • AUG 25 – ANNUAL CAMPAIGNS 101
  • SEPT. 28 – NARRATIVE BUDGETS: TELLING YOUR STORY BY THE NUMBERS
  • OCT. 26 – PLANNED GIVING TO SUPPORT MISSION AND MINISTRY

An opportunity to support Ukraine…

The UCC is working with relief agencies through the Reformed Church in Hungary to “provide shelter, food, and other care to war refugees and internally displaced people” as well as “refugees and asylum seekers from African, Middle Eastern, and other countries who had sought refuge in Ukraine and now are twice displaced…”

One Faith Church family has anonymously donated $1,000 in addition to their regular tithes and offerings to Faith Church to donate toward these efforts. They invite other Faith families to do the same. By Wednesday, March 16th, all monies collected through Faith Church will be sent to the UCC to add our efforts to those of our Global Partners seeking to care for those facing unimaginable horrors.  

To give in addition to your regular tithes and offerings, please designate in the memo or message (on-line giving) area that you want your extra gift to go to support the people of Ukraine.  May God bless us as we seek solutions to this tragedy, and the tragedy of all armed conflict in our world.
