The Strengthen the Church offering supports the expansion of ministry and growth of UCC local congregations. Your support of this offering will help the UCC fulfill its commitment to creating a just world for all by investing in new ministries and practices that meet the emerging needs of local communities. As God calls our congregations to be the church in new ways, your generosity will plant new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches and develop the spiritual life in our youth and young adults. To contribute, please write checks to FCC and note ‘Strengthen the Church’ or ‘STC’ on your check memo.

Claire is an inclusive multi-instrumentalist musician and singer based in Loveland. She is devoted to making music with, by, and for everyone, inclusive of all levels of ability and belief systems. Claire is a teacher in the area and attends Namaqua Unitarian Universalist Church, where she is becoming increasingly involved in making music with the congregation there.
