During worship on September 18 and 25, our Committee on Outreach will collect a special offering to support UPCaM (United Protestant Campus Ministries) for programming it provides to students Case Western Reserve University and Cuyahoga Community College-Metro Campus. UpCam's mission is "to develop Christian faith, Christian leadership, and Christian community on our college campuses by providing opportunities for community service, study, worship, fellowship, and pastoral care." It ministers to students through worship, Bible studies, national and global mission trips, international student support groups, spiritual growth opportunities, volunteer opportunities, student leadership, and one-on-one mentoring.
We can help support UPCaM in several ways:
• Contribute financial resources for the programming efforts of the UPCaM organization.
• Contribute financial resources specifically designated for the annual mission trip.
(Designated contributions can be placed in the offering plate this Sunday and next. Please make your checks payable to UCUMC with UPCaM in the memo line.)
• Make a dessert for an upcoming UPCaM meal. Several members of our church and our Committee on Outreach are preparing an evening meal for students at Case on Wednesday evening September 28. Immediately following the dinner at The Interfaith Center, our group will join students at their weekly worship service. A dessert volunteer sign-up sheet is in the church office. (Desserts need to arrive at the church office on Wed., September 28 by 5pm.)
For additional information about the special offering or September 28 meal, please contact Marilyn Sutton (440-717-3471) or Susan Achberger (419-606-7695).
