peace & justiceBecause UCT takes seriously the call to help one another, we are involved in many peace and justice ministries. We take our inspiration from scripture: “I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was alone and away from home, and you invited me into your house. I was without clothes, and you gave me something to wear. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.” – Matt. 25:34b-36 New Century Version Some of the ministries we support: Church World Service • ECHO • Jubilee Job Link & Bethany Apartments (both are ECHO Outreach Ministries) • Bread for the World • Shelter Meals • Florida Impact • Family Tree • Big Bend Homeless Coalition • UCC Open and Affirming • TEAM • FINCA • Equality Florida • Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center • Habitat for Humanity • PFLAG • UCT Giving Tree • Heifer International • Big Bend Cares • Neighborhood Health Services • Kris’s Camp • Elder Care Services • Relay for Life • Amnesty International • Kindred Spirits • Southern Poverty Law Center We also participate in two denomination-wide offerings through the United Church of Christ (UCC): One Great Hour of Sharing • Neighbors in Need |
