From Your Stewardship Team

 Dear Alki UCC Friends and Family,
As we close out 2025, we’re reflecting on the incredible ways God has moved through our community. Your generosity has helped us create a space where everyone is welcomed, loved and cared for — a true expression of radical hospitality.
We believe the coming year holds even greater opportunities to serve and share God’s love. To make that possible, we’re inviting you to join us in an end-of-year giving boost.
Your gift today will help us:
• Extend hospitality to those in need
• Support ministries that transform lives
• Keep our doors open to all who seek hope and belonging
Every contribution matters, and together we can finish this year strong and step boldly into the next.
