Assistance Fund

The Assistance Fund is used to help local citizens who are having a difficult time financially with utility bills, gas to get to work or appoints, and various other necessities. The funds are all paid directly to the merchant, not to the people needing the funds. If you know of anyone who is facing a shutoff notice or in need in other areas and are from the Clinton area, please let them know to call the church at 517-456-4363.  Please do not refer people to get help from this fund who do not live in the Clinton area. The funds are to help locally only.

Strengthen The Church

The Strengthen the Church (STC) Offering reflects the shared commitment of people across the United Church of Christ to cooperatively build up the UCC. Conferences and the national setting equally share the gifts given by members and friends through their local congregations. The funds raised support leadership development, new churches, youth ministry, and innovation in existing congregations.

Prayer Quilt Mission

The CUCC Prayer Quilt Mission began in 2016. The purpose of the Mission is to make quilts, have the quilts blessed by the Pastor and given to those in need of comfort at difficult times. Currently, the Mission has given out over 250 quilts to people locally and across the United States.  They have made approximately 400 quilts altogether. Anyone can request a quilt from the Mission. They do not have to be affiliated with CUCC. The quilts can go to those who need comfort, not only from sickness but a caregiver who needs that extra gift of blessed love. If you would like someone you know to have a quilt, please call Clinton United Church of Christ at 517-456-4363.
