"When they saw the star, they were filled with joy." —Matthew 2:10
The Christmas Fund has been caring for active and retired clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ for over 100 years, providing emergency grants, supplementation of small annuities and health premiums, and Christmas “Thank You” gift checks each December to our lower-income retirees.
United Church of Christ congregations and members have blessed the Christmas Fund with their generosity for many years. This year, your care and compassion will be especially appreciated by those servants of the church who are facing a time of need. Thank you!
Christmas Fund Resources

Dr. Elyse Berry, Associate for Advocacy and Leadership Development at The Council for Health and Human Service Ministries (CHHSM). Rev. Dr. Berry joined CHHSM in 2019 and brings nearly a decade of experience working in healthcare and a passion for social justice and spiritual development.
