What Are We Doing?Republic United Church of Christ is taking part in a friendly competition between three other local UCC churches, Zion UCC, St. John's UCC (Fostoria) and Community UCC (Fort Seneca) to see who can collect the most non-perishable food items for their local food pantries. The winning church will be treated to dessert by the other three churches in competition. The competition began October 2nd and will run through November 11th as part of the United Church of Christ Mission 1 project to feed the hungry and bring hunger awareness and food-related injustice to the forefront. Republic UCC will host the four churches involved on November 20th when dessert will be served and the traveling trophy will be awarded to the winning church.
