Clicking for a Cause

We are a group of knitters and crocheters who meet regularly for fellowship, spiritual growth, and service.

Clicking for a Cause is currently meeting once a month in person on the 2nd Monday of the month for fellowship.  If you would like to join us, please contact Linda Brown ().  In alignment with ERUUF policy, masks will be required until further notice.

Post Covid: We are in the process of reaching out to the organizations we provided items for in the past, so that we might start our donation efforts back up soon.

Care Ministry Table

During Coffee Hour after most Sunday services, you are invited to visit with ERUUF Pastoral Care Associates. You can send a card to someone with a joy, sorrow or milestone, and you can see the beautiful items created by Clickers.  This is also a time when you can speak with one of the Associates or the Consulting Pastoral Care Minister about your caring concerns. 

Care Teams

When an ERUUF member with a serious health issue needs on-going support, a calendar is created to coordinate people who are willing to help in specific ways. This team of volunteers will work closely with the member and family to help meet their needs. More about Care Teams
