Emerging Families
Join us on May 1st

As a way of celebrating the influx of new families visiting & joining our church, we are forming a new place for them to connect!

The idea for "Emerging Families" is to allow younger families to grow together on their faith journey with UCC.
However, anyone is welcome to socialize, brainstorm and plan this exciting future!
For details contact Stacy.McCoy@uccftw.com.
Help us celebrate birthdays at Fortress!
Beginning Thursday, April 28, our partners at Fortress Youth Development Center have asked us to help throw monthly birthday parties for their students. For many students, this is their only birthday celebration. You can help share God’s joy and love by giving 2 hours of your time (3:30-5:30pm).

Volunteers are needed (high school age & up) to help set-up for the parties, pass out treats, help create a celebratory atmosphere, and clean-up after the festivities.

Your Journey begins with UCC & You

Maybe you’re brand-new to UCC. Or perhaps you’ve attended a service here for years and are looking to take the next step. Either way, UCC & You is a can’t-miss, in-person seminar and lunch designed to answer your questions, share our vision, and help you plug in.

It’s where you’ll learn about UCC’s history, the resources we have to support you, and how you can find the one ministry (or five) that you’re really passionate about.
