One of our annual 5 for 5 offerings through the United Church of Christ is The Christmas Fund for the Veterans of the Cross and the Emergency Fund. The offering is administered through the United Church Board for Ministerial Assistance, the charitable arm of the Pension Boards.

Funds provide direct financial support to those who serve the church and are facing financial difficulties. Active and retired clergy, lay employees, and their surviving spouses may be eligible for the Supplementation of Small Annuities, Supplementation of Health Premiums, Emergency Grants, and/or Christmas “Thank You” Gift Checks.

To support this offering, special envelopes are available through the church office, or a check can be sent to the church with ‘The Christmas Fund’ in the memo line.
