Some of the leaders of the church will be there and so will Rev. Chuck and Rev. Julie. At a minimum, it will be a nice evening.

Would you like to know more about Christ Church or have had questions you’ve been meaning to ask? The dates are two Tuesdays this fall – September 29th and October 27th. Meet Chuck and Julie at Café Mavi, 83 Union Place, Summit at 9:00 am. RSVP to Carol Angle or .

The UCC has launched a campaign about Health Care legislation: It is called “100,000 for Health Care” Between now and the weekend of September 18, our hope is to send 100,000 messages to Congress. In addition, we will deliver the huge stack of 100,000 names to the Democratic and Republican leadership in Congress, starting with the in-district office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during Rev. Black’s upcoming trip to visit churches in the San Francisco area.

The UCC started this campaign because offering comfort to the broken, sick and injured was foundational to Jesus’ ministry and is central to our serving the least among us. Please join with us in reaching out to Congress and sharing our vision of a society where each person is afforded health, wholeness and human dignity. Sign up on web page.
