A Message from Your Stewardship Committee

 

Message from the Stewardship Co-Chairs

Celia Buckley and Andy Cramer

Our theme this year is Embracing Community: Shaping the Future. In these troubling times of crisis and uncertainty, we are reminded of what UUSS means to us, and what it can be for the larger community: a place where people can embody hope, lift our voices together, and put our values into practice. This congregation comes together for mutual support, comfort, courage, and celebration. We envision a future where we put love at the center of our beloved community. We envision a future where we provide refuge from hate and a sanctuary where trans folks, people of color and any perceived differences are welcomed and embraced. Our collective strength has the power to make a difference in our church, our community and ultimately influence change in our world.

Your financial commitment for the coming budget year will not only fund our ongoing operations. It will also enable us to increase the compensation of the dedicated staff and ministers of the congregation so that we can retain their talent and experience. We also will fund a ministerial intern at UUSS, enhancing our ability to respond to the emergent needs of our community and shape the future of UU ministry.

This year’s pledge drive ends April 13. Can we count on you to make your pledge today? You may fill out the online form by clicking here, or a paper pledge form (available at church) or contact our bookkeeper Debrah at (916) 483-9283 or . We are very grateful for your generosity and financial commitment to UUSS. ALL pledges are valued and appreciated.
