Suggested offering date December 19, 2021
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!
Online promotional and worship resources for the 2021 Christmas Fund offering may be downloaded here.
Christmas Fund offering envelopes will not be sent automatically to your church this year. However, you may still order offering envelopes from UCC Resources here.
As an alternative to envelopes this year, please consider encouraging members of your congregation to donate directly and securely via the “DONATE” button on this page.
