Responding to Natural Disasters

The recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria 

has killed over 36,000 people, many refugees

as well as so many injuries and displacements, too many to count.

You can help with the relief efforts through our mission partner

on the ground in that region.

Your gifts to the Church marked "Turkey/Syria"

will be used 100% without the overhead.

To give, go to our giving page below or send a check to the Church,

made out to RCC with "Turkey/Syria" in the memo.

A prayer by UCC Associate General Minister Karen Georgia Thompson:

God of grace and mercy, there are many who are suffering loss today. Around the world and in our communities we are mourning. Today we come holding in our prayers our siblings in Turkey and Syria who are still searching and rescuing survivors and victims of this earthquake. Be present with these families and communities during this time of crisis and need. Be a source of strength and comfort through these days ahead. Help us to be present on behalf of those in need. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Extending Your Reach!

Responding to the War in Ukraine

March 1, 2022: Ukrainian Emergency Appeal

On February 24, the Russian military attacked Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of persons have already sought refuge outside of Ukraine. Others have remained in the country or are displaced from their homes. The humanitarian crisis is accelerating in Ukraine as well as in neighboring countries as the violence escalates and the number of people on the move multiples. Here is one way you can help. 100% of your generosity goes to help. No overhead is taken from your donations!

 Tax-deductable Checks, payable to RCC and marked Ukraine can be sent to the Church.
