Reflections for your week

Each Wednesday, we will share a devotional written by one of our ministers or someone from the CUC community. A devotional typically includes a Bible scripture and a short reflection. We invite you to use these devotionals to support you in meditation, prayer, and reflection throughout the week.

You can also read Daily Devotionals from the United Church of Christ!

With this great gift comes great kuleana. It is up to us to regularly water, weed the ground, and mālama the seeds of faith that have been planted within us.”
