The document discusses the United Church of Christ's Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM) program and how it supports a variety of ministries. It states that through OCWM, congregations work together to foster worship, feed the hungry, raise children in the faith, respond to disasters, support clergy and ministries, preach a welcoming message, send aid worldwide, and keep faith, hope and love alive. OCWM also helps meet the needs of congregations, support higher education and seminaries, and provide coverage for church employees. The overall message is that through OCWM, United Church of Christ congregations serve God and share their gifts globally as a diverse and loving community.
