Thank you to the generous and quick response of so many of you during the first two weeks of the Blessing Our Becoming Annual Giving Campaign. If you haven’t participated yet, please do so soon. Your pledge supports the ministries and programming of UUC. Every gift is cherished and important. 

Our draft budget for the 2025-2026 church year is $1.7 million. To support this, our giving campaign this year needs to raise $1.4 million in pledges from UUC members and friends. We now have a total of 128 pledges for a total of $714,216. Thank you so much! 

Some key aspects to know:

• The proposed budget is an increase over last year’s—primarily for staffing-related and minister search expenses. The budget includes two full-time ministers and full staffing for our Family Ministry program. If you are able, please increase your annual operating pledge to UUC.
• This year, we plan to have only one giving campaign, so your pledge in March will be critical to the budgeting and planning process.
• The Executive Leadership Team, Board of Trustees and Finance Teams will review our fundraising and make adjustments to the budget until early May when a budget will be finalized to be approved by the congregation at the June Annual Meeting.

NOW is the time to pledge! 

March is pledge month. Submit your pledge now for the 2025-2026 church year!
