A Shelter in the Storm
2025-2026 Stewardship Campaign
When the Stewardship Board considered a theme for the 2025-2026 Annual Pledge Campaign, we thought about the emotions surrounding our particular time as a nation, as a church, and as individual Christians bound together as friends and members of First Congregational United Church of Christ (FCUCC). SHELTER IN THE STORM speaks to our moment and to the missions of our congregation. It feels right. It feels urgent.
