Can someone please add the UCC to the Christian COmmunities or Faith Groups section?!

This forum has been pretty quiet lately Give it some time. I am pretty sure there have been a lot of changes and other isssues to be dealt with recently. New forums proposals and discussions may take a while.
How many UCC members do we have who would participate in this?

Great idea! I'm a UCC member that is currently church hopping because I want to find a good fit for the whole family. I feel so at home in the UCC family. I love this idea and I've been scratching my head on why there already isn't one.

I have come across a handful. More will show if a subforum opens up.

I love the UCC. I wondered too why there wasn't a UCC subforum or anything so I thought i'd ask in the hopes that others would see and speak up as well! Thanks for voicing enthusiasm on this idea!
