November 18, 2021 Dear Congregation: As a congregation of the United Church of Christ, we are in covenant with other UCC congregations. Our covenant is with other local UCC congregations in the Catoctin Association, the Central Atlantic Conference, the national setting of the UCC, and global partners. Last week we had the honor of welcoming Rev. Freeman Palmer, Central Atlantic Conference minister. During the conversation at 9:30, Rev. Palmer shared many of the ministries that are occurring throughout the conference that are supported with the dollars we share through our Church’s Wider Mission. In addition to financial support, we have a number of our members who serve on boards and committees in the association as well as the conference. This Sunday, we will welcome General Minister and President of the UCC, Rev. Dr. John Dorhauer. At 9:30 in the Community Room, we will have a conversation with Rev. Dorhauer about the United Church of Christ, what he sees happening across the denomination, trends, questions, visions. I hope you will come and enjoy this opportunity to engage in conversation about the wider mission of the UCC and learn more about the impact of our gifts through the United Church of Christ. Photos of Doors Needed: Send us a photo of the front door of your house or apartment? Our theme for Advent for this year is, Housing the Holy, and our guiding image will be an open door. Please send your photos to bkdaniel@erucc.org and they will become part of a new art installation in the hallway outside the Liz Coffey Room and the Marj Menchey Berkheimer Music Suite. Thank you.
