Making Room for Hope, Rev. Kristin Grassel Schmidt preaching. In the lead-up to the winter holidays we wait to celebrate stories we know end happily.

And Throughout December...
Unity Church Aiding Neighbors (UCAN) has a wonderful opportunity to partner with the Old Colony Y to help families get a Christmas which they wouldn't have otherwise.
Old Colony Y staffs shelters in Brockton for many families without the resources to provide their children with Christmas presents.
We will help by getting their families' wish lists and creating a wish list tree at the church. Please consider fullfilling a family's wish and purchase gifts for these children.
