Global Ministries - United Church of Christ and Disciples of Christ

We commit ourselves to a shared life in Christ and to an ecumenical global sharing of resources and prophetic vision of a just and peaceful world order, joining with God’s concern for the poor and oppressed. This commitment will be reflected in common decision-making for mission program which will visibly witness to the oneness of mission in and through the Church of Jesus Christ.

Rooms will be set aside for small group lunches, such as members of the Ohio Conference UCC.  Participants can choose to pick up their lunch and take it to the room designated for the UCC. Look for signs and other information at the Convocation for the exact location.

Church World Service — Rebuilding hope!

 

With over 60 years of experience, Church World Service applies its expertise in overseas disaster and recovery work to our work in U.S. communities recovering from catastrophe. In partnership with local organizations, CWS can make a big difference to people displaced by a hurricane or economic hard times. For example, Church World Service provided 8,075 blankets to Keene, Texas, in response to Hurricane Gustav. 

 

Here in Ohio, we have provided over 2,000 blankets to agencies in Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Marion, Delaware and Akron for distribution to homeless people in these areas.

 

And, Church World Service keeps on working to help families and communities rebuild. For example, since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, in a landmark partnership between Church World Service and Habitat for Humanity International, CWS has helped more than 640 families repair and move back into their homes.

 

Working in partnership with your congregation we can do so much!
