Help Needed:

ORUCC Hurricane Disaster Support Project!

Join Pastor Kate & Pastor Julia for this hands on intergenerational community care opportunity on Sunday October 27th after worship. The hurricane disasters this fall brought incredible suffering in many parts of our country. Over this next week, ORUCC will join with churches across the Wisconsin Conference to support Church World Service in providing disaster relief cleanup buckets to offer much needed support and care to those most affected. 

If you’d like to be part of this project, please purchase items to donate to the effort and bring them to Friendship Hall by Sunday, October 27th by 11am. Ideally bring them Sunday 10/27, but if needed you may drop them off throughout the week M-F between 8:30am-12pm.

Please check out the list of supplies needed

and let us know what you will bring

by signing up here.

Our goal is to put together 10 buckets!

We will assemble the kits after worship on October 27th. All ages welcome to help assemble the buckets (kids included). Many hands make light work!

Contact Pastor Kate and Pastor Julia with any questions. If you would like to know more about disaster support with Church World Service, please visit this site.
