March Mission: The Potter's Hands Foundation

In 2023, The Potter’s Hands Foundation celebrates 10 years of helping women heal and move forward from sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. The early years were spent building the home and the Foundation. Since January, 2018, they’ve welcomed more than 48 women, ranging in age from 18 to 47.

Potter’s Hands maintains the only year-long residential safe home in western NY for survivors of sex trafficking. The ones who graduate have found suitable employment and are living independently.

There will be a speaker from Potter’s Hands on March 5th.

Stewardship

"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21

Often stewardship is mistaken as synonymous with fundraising in the church. Church stewardship is so much more than that. It encompasses the holistic care for the church as an organization, the people who are part of the church community, and the missions that reach beyond the walls of the physical buildings.

Traditionally our church runs a stewardship program in the fall culminating in a stewardship Sunday sometime in November. Pledges are made to the Annual Operating Fund which funds the Annual Budget.

Contributions may be made weekly during the service or by mailing a check OR using your bank's bill pay:

Wider Church

The First Congregational United Church of Christ is a member congregation of the United Church of Christ.

We are a Five for Five church, meaning that during the year we give to Our Church's Wider Mission (basic denominational support) and we participate in four special offerings throughout the year; Strengthen the Church, Neighbors in Need, One Great Hour of Sharing, and the Christmas Fund.
