Kar Woo and Artists Helping the Homeless 

 

UCC Longmont (Colorado) is offering free drop-in child care and supervision for the children of families affected by the flooding and water disaster.  Providing this service will enable parents to attend to immediate recovery tasks.  The congregation also plans to participate in community-based long-term recovery efforts.

Several UCC members are already engaged in assisting their neighbors and communities as clean-up begins.

One Great Hour of Sharing solidarity grants are being made available immediately to UCC congregations responding to needs which arise from this disaster.  Longer-term plans for UCC response will be developed after the flood waters recede and communities identify their recovery needs.

The Rev. Martha McMane, Senior Pastor of First Congregational UCC Boulder wrote to the congregation:  As ever, many people may be asking, "Where is God in the midst of disaster?" We can experience God's presence in the compassion and care all around us, as people respond by reaching out to one another, generously offering help to both friend and stranger alike. We can experience God's care in how our police and emergency workers use their skill and commitment, tirelessly risking their own lives to protect others. People all across the nation are praying for us here, and God's Spirit will continue to be

Chicago Theological Seminary is the only progressive seminary to offer an accredited MDiv completely online!

Since 1855, CTS has pushed the boundaries of theological education. And now we're doing it again. CTS is now the only progressive seminary with a Master of Divinity degree program completely online.

Perhaps you know someone who has heard the call to ministry, but had no way to fit seminary life into theirs. Or, perhaps they could not up and move their family to Chicago. Pass along this exciting news of our online MDiv. CTS earned this accreditation from the Association of Theology Schools due in part to the rigorous, engaged, and community-centric approach in which CTS delivers online education.  CTS online curriculum uplifts relationships with faculty and fellow students and provides space and opportunity for our online seminarians to mix, engage, relax and learn with their on campus counterparts.

Now, you don't have to come here to go here. www.ctschicago.edu/online/
