"And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them..." —Luke 2:9
The Christmas Fund has been caring for active and retired clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ for over 100 years, providing emergency grants, supplementation of small annuities and health premiums, and Christmas “Thank You” gift checks each December to our lower-income retirees.
United Church of Christ congregations and members have blessed the Christmas Fund with their generosity for many years. This year, your care and compassion will be especially appreciated by those servants of the church who are facing a time of need. Thank you!
The Christmas Fund community is excited to launch our NEW Christmas Fund 2024 mug! Cozy up this Christmas season with your favorite cup of hot cocoa, tea, or coffee and show your support for our United Church of Christ ministers, church workers, and their families.
Proceeds from the sale of The Christmas Fund 2024 mug will go directly to keeping our UCC family healthy and whole! Order yours today at www.bonfire.com/thechristmasfund2024!
This year’s Christmas Fund resources were developed in partnership with Rev. Dr. Elyse Berry, Associate for Advocacy and Leadership Development at The Council for Health and Human Service Ministries (CHHSM). Rev. Dr. Berry joined CHHSM in 2019 and brings nearly a decade of experience working in healthcare and a passion for social justice and spiritual development. To learn more about how CHHSM advances the work of the health and human service ministries of the United Church of Christ, visit chhsm.org.
