Five for Five

Second Congregational is Five for Five

The United Church of Christ encourages member congregations to support the following five annual giving opportunities and acknowledges congregations that contribute to all of them with the Five for Five designation.

Our Church’s Wider Mission: Supports work done to administer the UCC national Church and local conferences.  It also includes mission and disaster relief

Neighbors in Need: Supports national mission and justice programs

One Great Hour of Sharing: Supports international development aid, disaster relief, and refugee support

Strengthen the Church: Provides assistance for UCC Churches

The Christmas Fund: Provides emergency financial and pension assistance for UCC clergy and church employees

While all these funds are sent to our national office for the uses described above, much is returned to Maine and supports work of the Maine Conference and its churches, including ours.
