"How can we help you?" At a recent staff retreat, all the members of our team decided that we are really the "Service Department" of the United Church of Christ in central Pennsylvania. We want to help you with your mission, which is a very important piece of the larger mission of the Church. We want to connect you with the people and the resources that you need to make a difference in your community. Every time you get stronger and more vital, we get stronger and more vital. So when we say "How can we help you?" we really want to hear the answer. We love "OCWMing" with you!
