Sunday Service

"On the Practice of Making"

led by Rev. Laurel Gray

Throughout the pandemic many people took up new crafts and hobbies to help ground them amidst the chaos of the times. The practice of making is something that can be transformative, reminding us of our own capacity to generate and create.

The Garden Committee needs your help!

Please help us with this short questionnaire.

It's only 4 questions with 'Yes/No/Not Sure' answers and it will help us continue to design our updated outdoor area. The plan is designed to represent UU values, low maintenance, efficiency and expanded usage as well as make our church look great! 

You can follow what's happening with the UUCSW gardens on our Facebook page:

Pledge

EMERGENCE: Our Annual Pledge Campaign!

Please help the pledge committee by getting your pledge in as soon as possible.  Don't forget this year's special matching feature - an anonymous donor will match any increase over last year's pledge which means your increased generosity counts for twice as much.

The easiest way to pledge is to simply email our treasurer, Lisa Shumway at treasurer@uucsw.org with your pledge amount. Or, you can pledge online in Realm here: AddPledge

Or, you can fill out and mail the pledge card found in the letter we sent you (and available at church). Get in touch with Lisa if you have any questions.

Thanks so much! Let’s get there – TOGETHER! 

Sincerely,

The Annual Pledge Committee
