Capital Campaign Status Summary

The monthly CC Status Summary

Spreadsheet shows the prioritized project list, our initial estimated cost of each project, actual contractor quotes we have received for the work and much more.



This is the first CC’22 Status Summary since October 2024. We have had difficulty with the Air Conditioning (AC) project. We lost the mechanical engineer we were originally working with, but found a new one who has been working with us since October 2024. The AC project is the

largest cost project in the CC. As mentioned at the Mid-year congregational meeting in January, we have been wary of moving forward with too many other projects until we have a handle on the AC cost, hence there has been reduced spending of CC funds recently.

Please click this link to review the latest CC Status Summary Spreadsheet update. We are still working on several projects other than the AC. Projects with signed contracts include, the Memorial Walls in the Celebration Garden, Stormwater Improvements, additional Solar Panels and the Mechanical Engineer for design of the AC system.

See this link for a more detailed discussion of our progress to date.

We are trying to self-perform as much of the work as possible. Anyone with a desire to lend a hand is welcome to contact Joe Meier (see below). People with electrical wiring or carpentry skills would be especially welcome. Any questions or offers of help can be sent to Joe Meier at capitalcampaign@uucnh.org.

Imagine the Possibilities- Stewardship Pledge Drive

We invite you to imagine the possibilities for our liberal religious community and for the world we can create together. The strength and vibrancy of our beloved community depends on your generosity – which is already evident in the fifty-eight pledges totalling $258,118 that have been turned in! Just imagine what’s possible as the remaining eighty of you offer your pledges!

You have three ways to submit your pledge: meet with your canvasser; fill out a card found in the breezeway, or enter it online at https://uucnh.org/uucnh-pledging/. If you want a pledge card and haven’t received one yet, contact (CarolBallance@uucnh.org or MichaelHorwitz@uucnh.org). All pledge units receive an entry for a drawing to be held on April 6th. The prize is an $80 gift card for two tickets for the Burgh Bus.

What do you imagine for the future of UUCNH? After you have pledged, please let us know your thoughts by putting them on a dove and placing it on the mural in the sanctuary.

Our Caring Community Still Needs You

Are you able to:



• provide companionship to a person who is lonely?
• lend some tools to a fellow congregant? 
• offer rides to the grocery store or to the doctors office?

If you said yes to any of these questions, the Caring Community team would love to hear from you.  Please email caringcommunity@uucnh.org and tell us how you can help. Your name will be added to a list of people that we will reach out to when a need arises.
