Pastor Bryan Olson, Interim Minister
Swiss Bell Update Thanks to your generosity, we have met our goal and the bells will be coming down soon. The arrangements are being made for them to be removed from the tower, crated up, put on the truck and shipped off to Ohio. It will take between 90 and 120 days for them to be updated and then they will be trucked back to us and reinstalled along with a new keyboard. With that new keyboard they will be able to be played soft or loud which will be a great improvement. This is an exciting time for the Neillsville United Church of Christ as once again we will be able to fully use and appreciate the gift that was given by the Hediger family 45 years ago.
The United Church of Christ in Neillsville is located at the corner of Park and Second. We offer all a hearty welcome.
The Cross and Swiss Bell Tower at our entrance symbolize the Good News of Jesus Christ for our community and the world. Each Sunday the bells call us to worship (10:00 a.m. in the winter, 9:00 a.m. in the summer).

Devotions Available
You can access a series of devotional messages at i.ucc.org. These devotions are written by various UCC pastors and lay people and help us connect to God each day.
- For those of us who give by automatic deductions from our bank, send our gift through our bank, write a monthly check, or designate a yearly contribution of stocks, there is a way to show our giving commitment each week through a “Giving Card.” These are placed in the pews in either the card rack or in back of the communion cup rack. You are invited to take one and place it in the offering plate during the morning offering.
- The card is red on one side and white on the other.
Listen on the Radio
A portion of our Sunday worship is broadcast each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. on WCCN, 1370 AM on the dial. If you would like to sponsor a broadacast please contact the church office at 743-2147.
