Help & Hope THANKS YOU! for generosity and caring. We delivered a huge bag of stuffed animals, appx. 10 large boxes of children’s gifts, plus gifts bought on a shopping spree by the teens of our church and 89 gift wrapping packages assembled by the children (ribbon, paper, tape, gift tags & pens). $500 was contributed to this project through Thrivent’s “Live Generously” Action Program (headed by Don & Shirley Wick), which funded the shopping spree and the supplies for gift packages. We also delivered appx. 5 larges boxes of gently used gifts, and bikes too!!

SIGNAGE AT UCCPH
Our church sign started out as a wood sign on the corner of Democrat and Flintwood Roads. The signposts are still there. In the early 2000’s a stone sign was built by member Doug Stephenson.
When member Mary Ellen Mellor died, she left $5000.00 to the church. It was decided to use the donation for a sign. Doug and pastor Linda Downey went to a quarry between Boulder and Lyons, CO and selected a piece of Lyons sandstone to be etched with the church’s name. The base was built by Doug, with the help of Tom Lewis. Doug hand fit pieces of rhyolite found scattered around the grounds from the construction of the church.
That very sign now provides stability for the new digital sign erected in 2019. The digital sign has the capacity to show pictures, colors, posts of UCCPH’s activities, announcements and other exciting possibilities.
