For a Time Such As This

To Our Dear UHCC Family,

I am writing this to update all of you who have played or will now play vital roles in the life of Urban Hope Community Church; to our members, church visitors, church partners, nonprofit partners and friends. It has been an amazing year for us at Urban Hope and we desire to finish it well by giving you an exciting preview of what we believe the Lord is doing as we head into 2023.

Throughout 2022, God has united a large group of individuals and organizations to rally behind Urban Hope and the powerful vision and mantle that God has given to our church. Many of you have heard me reference my life verse, Ephesians 3:10 - “so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known”. This uniting vision of which we are in pursuit, is “Manifold” in its essence.

Above, there is a 3-minute video providing a summary of how the Lord is bringing hope and restoration to Fairfield and how we seek to strengthen and replicate this work through the establishment of a single, unified “Manifold Fund” led and managed by a board of advisors. This fund will be housed with our ministry partners at Clerestory Inc. (https://clerestoryinc.org). Much more detail and information will follow, but we are asking that you join this vision now by sending your donations to the “Manifold Fund” in one of the following ways:

1. Online at https://clerestoryinc.org/donate/ by selecting “Manifold - Fairfield/UH” under Fund option “Manifold - Fairfield/UH”

2. By check sent to Clerestory at 2 Perimeter Park South, Suite 550E, Birmingham, AL 35243, with a note indicating “Manifold”

3. Through NCF or other donor advised funds directed to “Clerestory, Inc”, which is in their system, and include a reference to "Manifold Fund"
