Syria/Turkey Earthquake Relief
2023-02-15 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
Disaster assistance can’t undo the tragedy, but it can – we can – in some small way help share the terrible burden.
Through its established disaster relief channels, the United Church of Christ will be sending aid. There are many good ways to give, and we assure you this is one of them. As Union Church, we are collecting an offering directly, and then we will send 100% of those gifts to those in need through the UCC.
Click here to give now. Be sure to select “Earthquake Relief” in the drop-down menu.
Although millions of lives will never be the same, it is good to express our unity with fellow children of God in a dire situation. Our gifts show that we truly understand that we belong to each other.
Again, click here to give now, and be sure to select “Earthquake Relief” in the drop-down menu.

Being Catholic at Union Church
2023-02-12 11:15 - 12:30 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
Feb 12 11:15-12:30 in Rowell Hall
What do we believe?
Many of our members at UCH were raised Catholic, and some still consider themselves Catholic (at least in some ways). What does that mean as a person of faith who worships here at Union? Reverend Mike will lead these sessions on that very topic. These sessions are intended for those who consider themselves Catholic in some way, those who are curious about getting more involved at UCH even though they have a Catholic background, or just anyone curious and wanting to learn more!

Our Epiphany Series: What's Your Why?
2023-02-12 09:00 - 23:59, 2023-01-08 10:00 - 23:59 | Union Church of Hinsdale, 137 S Garfield Ave., Hinsdale, IL, 60521, United States
During Epiphany, a season between Christmas and Lent and one of new beginnings and reflection, we will hear from clergy, staff and members about what drives them, motivates them and calls them to be faithful followers of Christ. Our liturgical calendar focuses on call stories during this period. We will all have an opportunity to be introspective about our own call story. Be sure to join us, in person or online, as we learn more about our God, faith and our neighbors!

Church staff and church members are exploring the why? that undergirds their faith as Christians. Why do we do this thing called “church”? What compels us to worship God, and what does that actually mean for us?
