Small Change, Big Impact
On the second Sunday of each month, the children of Faith UCC collect a special offering during worship. Known as the Joyful Noise Offering, these gifts go directly to ministries that support children in need—locally and globally.
Our children lead the way in giving with love.
Joyful Noise is more than loose change—it’s a way for all of us, especially our children, to live out Christ’s call to care for the most vulnerable. Each month, coins and bills collected during worship are dedicated entirely to children’s missions. Faith UCC currently supports three ministries through this offering, making a tangible difference in young lives around the world.
Teaching Generosity, Changing Lives
Joyful Noise is more than an offering—it’s a way of forming faith in our children. By collecting and giving, they learn that small acts of generosity add up to powerful change. Through these missions, our congregation helps write new stories of hope for children here at home and around the world.
Support Our Mission
Your generosity makes a difference! Every gift helps us spread hope, serve our community, and share God’s love with those in need. Thank you for being a part of this mission!

Our Commitments
Bethany Children’s Home – Brighter Future Fund
Located near Reading, PA, Bethany’s Shelter Program provides 24-hour emergency care for youth ages 10–18. Faith UCC pledges $480 annually to the Brighter Future Fund, which covers basic needs and special programs like birthday parties, holiday gifts, arts, recreation, and spiritual enrichment—creating lasting memories and reminding youth they are loved.
Global Ministries – Child Sponsorship
Since the 1950s, Global Ministries has supported children through housing, food, education, and healthcare. Faith UCC has sponsored Robert Clive of the Family Village Farm in Tamil Nadu, India, since 2005—pledging $360 annually to support his growth. Born in 2002, Robert now thrives in post-high school studies thanks to this partnership.
Beyond Borders – School Not Slavery (Haiti)
In Haiti, countless children are denied education and forced into child labor. Beyond Borders’ School Not Slavery Movement seeks to end child slavery by ensuring every child has access to quality schooling.
Faith UCC pledges $480 annually to support this mission. In partnership with the Light of Light Foundation, Beyond Borders equips local adults to lead, create safe communities, and guarantee that every child in their region can go to school.
