Dear Folks,
May Christ be born anew in our hearts.
This will be the last "This Week" email for 2025.
Our Christmas Eve Service of Lessons & Carols & Candlelight will be Wednesday at 4 P.M. The service will be live streamed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HCCUCC and will be available for viewing on Facebook and YouTube later on Wednesday.
This coming Sunday, December 28, is the First Sunday after Christmas. The Scripture is Luke 2:21-32. A Deacon will be leading a Carol Sing. This Sunday's service will be live streamed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HCCUCC.
All women are invited to the Women’s Fellowship Annual Meeting following the service on January 11. After a brief meeting to vote Board members for the 2026, there will be a “Make and Take” program led by an owner of Moss Gardens in downtown Shelton. Refreshment, fellowship, and fun in abundance! Please see the sign-up in the Alcove.
Women’s Fellowship will begin collecting items for CWS Hygiene Kits in January. Many of those receiving these kits are living in temporary shelters or are on the move; therefore, the list of items needed has changed. List is in the Alcove. Note that bandages and towels are no longer needed. There will be a box in the Alcove for donations. Questions? See Lois Ricker. Thank you!
Starting in January, Women’s Fellowship is sponsoring a Winter Coat Drive for the Bridgeport Rescue Mission. Please bring a new or gently used coat and place it in the box in the Alcove. Share the gift of warmth!
The Valley Food Bank at Spooner House – December’s giving focus is dessert mixes, frosting, coffee, tea, shelf-stable desserts, January's giving focus is canned soups, stews, and chilis. Please use the box in the Alcove for donations. The Blessing Box also needs to be stocked. Our Spooner House Meal is on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Questions? See Holly or Gerry Fassbender.
Funds for Clean-up Buckets Urgently Needed – We are collecting monetary donations for Church World Service clean-up buckets. Please make checks out to HCC with “Buckets” on the memo line, then drop your donation in the bucket on Sundays, or use the on-line option on our website.
Please continue to support HCCUCC with your contributions. Now more than ever, our mission of being the beacon of love and light on the Huntington Green and beyond is vital. Contributions sent in by mail are welcome. Please consider donating at our website, www.huntingtonucc.org.
Electronic Fund Transfer giving is also available. Please email the church, hcc@snet.net if you would like a form to set that up. Any way you give is a blessing and is greatly appreciated.
