A prayer group and Bible study group meet weekly, offering spiritual growth and enrichment.

Outreach
Mission activities that UCUC currently supports in the extended community include the following:

  • Interfaith Shelter Network
  • Orphanage for girls located in Tecate, Baja California
  • Christian Community Service Agency (CCSA)
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Meals on Wheels
  • Henry the Cat Healing Ministry for children or elderly with pets needing medical attention

Additionally, we provide meeting space for the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and other educational groups.

CCSA Back to School Project
One of the best ways to help our client school children succeed as students is to supply them with a backpack filled with essential supplies. A great idea mentioned at our CCSA Advisory meeting was each church buy backpacks and fill them so the small Rappahannock facility is not inundated with a mound of material for the backpacks. Needed school supplies are:

  • Backpacks (solid colors)
  • 3-ring Binder Notebooks
  • Spiral Notebooks
  • Folders (with pockets)
  • Zippered Pencil Cases
  • Pens
  • Pencils
  • Washable color markers
  • Colored Pencil Sets
  • Rulers
  • Glue
  • Glue Sticks
  • School Safety Scissors (right and left handed)
  • Lined Notebook Paper packs (NOT college-ruled)

Also needed are: socks and underwear (children’s sizes: medium to large) In lieu of purchased donations, checks can be made out to CCSA (Memo: Back to School). We will collect donations from Sunday, JULY 13 through AUGUST 3. Items must be dropped off at CCSA by Monday, August 4. If you have questions, please call Marlene Campbell.
