On Sunday, March 25, we began an emphasis on prayer as part of our Growing for Good Campaign. Prayer tent cards were distributed both during the Sunday morning worship service and during the Sunday evening worship @The Well. We would like to distribute one to each family in the church. One side of the tent card has a suggested prayer that we hope will provide you with a good starting point. The other side invites you to participate in a cycle of prayer with a special theme for each day. These cards are intended for your use in prayers for our church and its mission between now and our Growing for Good Commitment Sunday on April 29^th.

Please put your tent card in a visible place in your home and refer to it each day. If you do not yet have a card you can pick one up from the table in the hallway just outside the church office or you can download a pdf file of the card by clicking here.

There is power in prayer. Please join us in praying for our church and its continuing mission.

Welcome from Senior Minister, Rev. Dr. Paul Shupe

Building on foundations that are nearly two centuries old, Hancock United Church of Christ is today a vibrant community gathered to worship God, who we believe still speaks, and who calls us engage in:

Worship that is authentic, relevant and thoughtful. Community that welcomes all regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, economic status or physical and mental ability, finding joy in diversity. Compassion for the poor and powerless, peacemaking for those in conflict, caring for the natural world, and advocating justice for all of God’s people. Life-long Learning about our faith, our world, cultures and traditions different from our own, learning based in mutual respect, reason, and curiosity.

As a congregation of the United Church of Christ, we honor the freedom and responsibility of the individual and the congregation to search and to believe in harmony with conscience, as well as the obligation to remain in respectful relationship with other individuals within our congregation and our partner congregations within the United Church of Christ and the wider ecumenical community.

We welcome seekers and searchers of all ages, backgrounds and traditions, inviting all to join us along the path of faithfulness to God. We welcome you!
