Spiritual life
Spiritual Life at Hazel Park UCC invites us into a season of generosity and shared purpose. From April through June, we lift up a trio of remarkable causes—Church World Service, One Great Hour of Sharing, and Strengthen the Church—each bringing healing, hope, and growth to communities near and far. This ministry isn’t just about giving; it’s about planting seeds of compassion, resilience, and renewal through faith-based action. Whether rebuilding lives after disaster, empowering local congregations, or serving those most in need, Spiritual Life is our way of joining hands with God’s work across the globe.
