- Let’s Talk About Our Future Reverend Ed Brock has been Interim Minister of UCDC for eight months. The period of interim ministry has a specific objective to set up the conditions for the most successful search for a new settled minister. This Sunday, March 17, he will talk about what has been accomplished during this period, what we are trying to achieve right now, and where we are headed. We are on a journey, we have an important destination ahead, and we need everyone’s help to get there.
