Help Us Build a Banned Book Library
Inspired by the service project at the UCC denominational synod (https://jointhemovementucc.org/jtm-news/gs35-banned-books-service-project/ )
we are building our own banned book library. The library will open in October for
“Banned Books Week” and during a month-long study we as a church are
planning on intellectual freedom
We hope you’ll consider contributing to the UCH Banned Book Library!
Monetary donation will be accepted to purchase books from local independent
bookstores – click here to donate:

Buy your own favorite banned book and bring it to the church offices or on Sunday morning so we can add it to the library
How is creating a Banned Book Library sacred
work for these times?
“In the United Church of Christ, we know that as people called to build a just
world for all, we need each other’s stories and experiences to live into the
fullness of the Body of Christ. We believe that banned books have a
special vocation, a particular calling in our faith communities: to help
expand and enliven the image of God and empower us to reckon with truths
that demand our loving accountability.”
