From Our Ministers

This year, UUSS has been thriving. We have found robust and increasing attendance as newcomers and new members continue to join our community of commitment, love, and generosity. Our many groups, programs, and Religious Education classes connect us to one another and to serving the wider community.

When you lend a hand, lift your voice, greet another person, and provide a compassionate presence, you enlarge the abundance of our community. In addition, your financial support makes possible all the programs provided by our dedicated volunteers, staff members, and ministers. Your support keeps our doors open to welcome the next seeker of the gifts of our spiritual community.

This year, our Stewardship team has set a goal to increase pledge revenue by 15% so that we may increase staff salaries to the Unitarian Universalist Association’s minimum recommendations for our size and our area’s average wages. We are grateful to the Personnel Task Force for their careful attention to this issue and for the continued support of the Board and our dedicated volunteer leadership to fair and competitive staff compensation.

Making a pledge to UUSS is about putting faith in one another and in our future as a vibrant community. Generous giving sustains our mission. Your pledge demonstrates your faith in each other, in the value of this community home, and in your commitment, love, and generosity.

Every year, we ministers give at least 5% of our gross income to UUSS. We are personally committed to its mission and values. We are grateful for your energy, courage, trust, and love as we build community. We invite you to make the most generous pledge you can, taking up the invitation to increase your pledge as you are able.  Please know that it will make a difference. Thank you!
