UPCOMING EVENTS
Summer Family Worship
Welcome Sunday & Fall Fest
Faith Formation Begins for 2026-2027
Sundays through 13 September, 10:00 am​
​​
Throughout the summer, the whole family is invited to worship together. There are little surprises to help all ages quiet their bodies and open their hearts - journals, fidget things, activity folders, coloring pages and more. The PrayerGround stands ready to welcome the youngest Worship participants and gives them space to be kids while they learn about Worship. There will be a Moment with the Children every Sunday too! So, come in your dress-up clothes or in your shorts and summer shirt. It doesn't matter. The building is air-conditioned and we just want you to be comfortable!
Sunday, 13 September, 10:00 am​
​​
Join us as we gather together to kick off the new program year with a friendly, warm Worship experience followed by a block party out in front of the church. There will be food from the grill, salads and desserts for all. The kids will find an assortment of games and street festival activities to try. It's a time to gather with neighbors you know as well as the chance to meet some new ones. So stop on in for a warm welcome and space to just hang out.
Sunday, 20 September, 10:00 am
​
Faith Formation starts for all kids 3 years of age through 6th grade. The kids start in Worship with their parents and then go upstairs for their class about 20 minutes into Worship. In Faith Formation, they hear a story from scripture and wonder about it, then they may make a craft or play a game or do another type of activity together that relates to the story for the day. Faith Formation ends around 11:15 am and the children can then join their parents for goodies and beverages during the Fellowship Time.
Standing Together:
A Joint Interfaith Statement on the
San Diego Islamic Center Shooting
We, the faith leaders of Different Faiths, One Family, stand in absolute solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters following the horrific shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center. An attack on one house of worship is an attack on all of us.
We offer our deepest prayers for the victims, their families, and the entire congregation.
As leaders of different traditions but one human family, we refuse to let fear or hatred divide our community. Our faiths teach us that every human being carries divine dignity. We call on all people of goodwill to reject Islamophobia and bigotry in all its forms, and to counter this darkness with unity.
In the coming days, our congregations will step forward together to host joint vigils and support our neighbors. Hatred will not have the last word in San Diego. Love, unity, and justice will.
In faith and solidarity,
The Faith Leadership of Different Faiths, One Family

- The Community Church of Mountain Lakes
- United Methodist Church, Boonton

Ukraine Emergency Appeal
Situation Report
On February 24, the Russian military attacked Ukraine. Hundreds of thousands of persons have already sought refuge outside of Ukraine. Others have remained in the country but are displaced from their homes. The humanitarian crisis is accelerating in Ukraine and in neighboring countries as the violence escalates and the number of people on the move multiplies.
​
UCC Response
The United Church of Christ is appealing for support for refugees who have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries and for elderly and other vulnerable people who are displaced within Ukraine and unable to leave. As a member of the ACT Alliance, UCC support is being targeted to people most in need through humanitarian relief partners with a history of working in the region.
​
For example, Hungarian Interchurch Aid has been working along the Hungary-Ukraine border for years. It is focusing its war relief in Ukraine to two border cities. In a 10-day span early in the conflict, it trucked 278 metric tons of food and non-food items into Ukraine for relief efforts there.
“We have 24-hour-a-day help on the Ukrainian side for people waiting to cross,” reported HIA communicators Daniel Fekete and Kristof Gancs. “The queue of cars waiting to cross into Hungary has at times reached 5-6 kilometers long. Some 200,000 refugees already have crossed into Hungary, and many more are expected.
​
“It’s a rapidly changing situation. The number of people needing help will grow. We just heard of a place near Romania that needs help. We’ll go there,” they said.
​
Aid also is being extended through Hungarian Reformed Church Aid, the relief agency of the Reformed Church in Hungary. The UCC’s long-term relationship with the Reformed Church in Hungary is held through the Europe and the Middle East Office of Global Ministries.
Gifts made to UCC Ukraine Relief Fund will provide shelter, food, and other care to war refugees and internally displaced people. It also will help refugees and asylum seekers from African, Middle Eastern and other countries who had sought refugee in Ukraine and now are twice displaced, as well as citizens of more than 125 other countries living in Ukraine.
​
Uniting in prayer, action, and giving, we stand as a people of faith in love and compassion with the people of Ukraine and all who are affected, and with our global partners who are welcoming those driven from their homes.
