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:

-or-
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.”

Crucial Conversations: Sanity in Times of Conflict
2025-09-14 11:15 - 12:30 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
Are you frustrated, or disturbed, or just concerned about the divisiveness and conflict in our society today? We seem to be embroiled in conflict on many topics, whether political, social, economic, or any number of issues. And this level of conflict is deeply affecting our relationships with one another, impacting families and friendships, as well as impacting our institutions, including the church.
However, conflict can be healthy and transformative, if used properly.
We are offering a two-part adult education seminar on “Transformative Conflict” this September, and we invite you to join us on Sunday, September 14 and Sunday, September 21, following the 10 am service, in Rowell Hall at 11:15 am to 12:30 pm.
The workshop will be led by Rev. Dr. Robb Knuepfer. We will be working with the book, “Transforming Conflict,” by Terasa Cooley. Copies of the book are available for purchase in the church office for $24.00 each. They are also available on Amazon.
If you are interested in attending the seminar, then please let Adriana Kieffer in the church office (akieffer@uchinsdale.org, x6689) know so we can plan for attendance and book orders.
