The Share-the-Plate program raises money to give to local agencies which are trying to improve life for Chester County residents.
Eleven times a year, UCWC gives approximately half of the collection plate to a congregation-nominated recipient. Funds are given to small, local organizations for whom our gift is very meaningful in the continuance of their efforts.

In the days before the Civil War, a runaway slave named Liz Spocott breaks
free from her captors and escapes into the labyrinthine swamps of Marylandâs
eastern shore, setting loose a drama of violence and hope among slave catchers,
plantation owners, watermen, runaway slaves, and free blacks. Liz is near death,
wracked by disturbing visions of the future, and armed with âthe Code,â a fiercely
guarded cryptic means of communication for slaves on the run. Lizâs flight and her
dreams of tomorrow will thrust all those near her toward a mysterious, redemptive
fate.
