Blood Drive

We will hold our 11th blood drive at St. Paul’s UCC on Monday December 8th from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in conjunction with the Blood Center of Wisconsin. Anyone 17 years or older can donate and you are never too old to donate.

The blood collected will be used in over 50 area hospitals in Wisconsin for individuals that need surgery, blood transfusions or have need for the various components of blood. Please consider being a donor and asking a friend or family member to join you.

You can sign-up at St. Paul’s in the Gathering Area or you can contact Ken Cornell by email, or at 920-467-9742, or 920-334-0103 (cell phone) to get scheduled.

Support our mission at St. Paul’s of giving back to our community!

October Mission of the Month

LOCAL MISSION: Harvest Home

On Sunday, October 5, 2014, World Communion Sunday is celebrated in several denominations, promoting Christian unity and ecumenical cooperation. Christians from many congregations around the world participate in the Lord’s Supper. Harvest Home is also observed on this Sunday. Each day, we give thanks to God for His provisions enabling our sustenance. On this Sunday we are reminded to remember the unfortunate. Those in need may be anyone–not only church members, but ALL members of God’s earth. At times, many of them need help with sustaining their lives. We are enabled to donate in the form of nonperishable food items or a monetary donation in a Harvest Home envelope.

UCC’s MISSION: Neighbors in Need (NIN)

The Neighbors in Need offering received during the month of October supports the UCC’s ministries of justice and compassion throughout
the United States. Two-thirds of the offering is used by the UCC’s Justice and Witness Ministries to fund a wide array of local and national justice initiatives, advocacy efforts, and direct service projects. Neighbors in Need also supports our American Indian neighbors in the UCC. One-third of the offering supports the UCC’s Council for American Indian Ministries (CAIM). In the past, the UCC has worked with Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Mandan, Hidatsa, Arickara, and Hocak in North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, and northern Nebraska. Today there are 20 UCC congregations on reservations and one urban, multi-tribal UCC congregation in Minneapolis, Minnesota. These churches are supported by
CAIM. CAIM is also an invaluable resource for more than 1,000 individuals from dozens of other tribes and nations who are members of other UCC congregations in the United States. Neighbors in Need grants support the training of educators who teach children, youth, and adults self and divine love by honoring their spirituality in healthy, life-affirming and lifesaving ways. Neighbors in Need helps make another world possible. It needs your support. Please give generously. With your support, Neighbors in Need is Imagining a World without Poverty.
