Neighbors in Need Offering

NEIGHBORS IN NEED OFFERING
October 6th

The 2019 theme for the Neighbors in Need offering is "Love of Children." We will receive this offering on October 6th as part of our World Communion Sunday worship.

NIN is a special mission offering of the UCC that supports ministries of justice and compassion throughout the United States. A portion of this offering is used to fund a wide array of local and national justice initiatives, advocacy efforts, and direct service projects. This offering also supports the UCC's Council for American Indian Ministries (CAIM).

This year will mark a new initiative for our giving. Every dollar donated to the fund will be matched by the Church. The amount will be announced at a later date to allow everyone to be aware of the donation.

Neighbors in Need helps make another world possible. It
needs your support.

CHURCH MEDICAL EMERGENCIES POLICY
At the meeting on August 20, 2019, Council approved the policy for medical emergencies noted below (and accompanying procedures). Council believed that it was necessary to address the issue because of recent experiences locally, as well as the general world environment. The policy/procedure will be posted in the Fellowship Hall. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any church officer or Cabinet member.

Medical Emergencies Policy
In the event that an individual working in, visiting, or participating in any activity of the church experiences or appears to experience a medical crisis that appears to be of a serious nature where there is concern that there is a risk to the person’s life or of permanent harm, 9-1-1 will be called for immediate assistance. This will occur regardless of the individual’s wishes, unless there is an immediate adult family member present who also requests that 9-1-1 not be called.
