SHARING OUR ABUNDANCE

STEWARDSHIP We ask all to commit their time, talent and treasure in service to God.

The Congregational UCC of Arlington Heights was founded as a mission church with a focus on giving back to God. Every fall, we dedicate a week to prayerful consideration of the many gifts that God has given us. On Stewardship Sunday, each member dedicates—in complete confidence—a monetary pledge for the coming year and an assessment of the time and talent each has to offer. From these pledges come the full operating and mission budgets for the next year; our church has no fundraisers. We continue to pursue our church's original goal of giving 50% of collected monies to those in need.

In addition to UCC national and global assistance (Our Church's Wider Mission), we support many local services, including:

CASA
Chicago Anti-Hunger Federation
Chicago Night Ministry
Cornerstone Community
Outreach
Habitat for Humanity
Lifelink (Bensenville)
Meadows Community Services
People's Church, Chicago
St. John UCC, Chicago

DISCIPLESHIP We encourage and nurture the use of our God-given gifts so that we may become involved, committed and empowered to minister.

Wherever your spiritual gifts, talents and interests lie there is a way to share your unique contribution with others. Opportunities at our church include the growing Care and Stephen Ministries, worship planning, music, drama and art, teaching, youth activities, church leadership and administration, hospitality, and a wide range of social action initiatives. Every gift is precious and every hour spent in ministry spreads the Good News. We are actively looking for even more ways to develop and share all the talents our members have to offer.
