The Council for Faith in Action (CFA) met in August to discuss its focus for the 2021-2022 church year. While we will continue to support our legacy organizations (See our September article on where contributions go), we will also monitor and fund the following four areas as needs arise this year:
• Voting rights/ability to vote
• Food Insecurity (most recently Fisherman’s Mark; see related article)
• Immigration
• Disadvantage School Programs
Funds for CFA are monitored by the Faith Expression and Funding Team (FEFT) Ministry of CFA. Support for all causes comes from your generous support of the weekly plate. CFA receives 50% of the total plate and those funds help form the budget of money we can then give to those in need. Thank you for your continued giving even while we are not physically together—the NEED IS STILL GREAT.
If there is a concern that you feel might need support, please feel free to submit a request to FEFT. If you’d like to learn more about what we do, or participate in awarding grants, please contact FaithFunding@uucwc.org
