Here is the church. Here is the steeple. Open the door and see all the people!

It’s UCC’s turn to speak, to tell the story about the United Church of Christ and show the welcome that Jesus calls us to be. The popular Steeples ad is taking center stage. Thanks to generous donations from people like you, UCC Stillspeaking Ministry launched a fundraising campaign to tell our story nationally. So far, enough money has been raised to bring the Steeples ad to Bravo and BET, and if we meet our goal of $350,000 by September 1, the ad will show on CNN and the Food Network.

Church of the Beatitudes has pledged $2,500 and we are asking the congregation to give in a personal way and match that donation. You can place your contribution in the offering plate, bring it to the church office, or use your credit card. Please indicate that it is for “Steeples Ad.”

The Church is also making our own Steeples video and sending it to UCC, where it will be placed on their website, with other videos. For more information, visit www.ucc.org/allthepeople. Thank you for helping get our story out!
