to various service agencies, the capital improvement campaign, and
other special projects. Contact Faye Bowen at 226-3100.

The
Men’s Brotherhood meets in the choir room the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30
p.m. for supper. Different men within the group prepare the meal
each month. The Brotherhood’s one fund raising project is
an Annual Spaghetti Supper which is held the last Friday of February.
Proceeds from the meals are used to support a variety of community

Once
a quarter, the Brotherhood joins with other UCC men’s groups
