Continued Focus on Border Issues

Borderland Tours Eye-Opening

1.    Two groups of CACC-UCC members have participated in guided tours of the Arizona/Sonora Borderland --- one in February and one in March. Their experiences led to the church's March 10th presentation of a panel discussion on border problems by experts in the field. Grace Bunker, who has been coordinating the border issues programs for the Ministry of Mission and Outreach, says a third trip can be arranged if interest continues.

  • First Testimony! disbursement headed to N.C. church
    Naples United Church of Christ and Land of the Sky United Church of Christ aren’t close in geography, or in membership. Naples UCC, in Naples, Fla., has about 1,200 members, while Land of the Sky UCC, in Asheville, N.C., has almost 150. But both congregations share the same heart, a passion for justice and community outreach, and the pursuit of excellence in everything they do. The two are linked further by Naples UCC’s contribution of $5,000 to Land of the Sky through the UCC’s Testimony! campaign.
