Information on Japan Relief Our prayers go out to Japan after their natural disaster. The National association of the UCC has set up a disaster fund to support emergency relief and rebuilding. Please look on the internet at http://www.ucc.org/disaster/japan-earthquake-2011/ for more information. You may make donations directly to UCMI placing “Pacific earthquake/tsunami” in the memo line of your check and placing it in the plate on Sunday, or mailing it to the church office. Donations may also be made out and sent directly to Wider Church Ministries, 700 Prospect Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115.
