“Sir, the odds of successfully navigating an Annual Budget are 3720 to 1!”…”Never tell us the odds.” More than ever, our hurting world needs strong and courageous Unitarian Universalist communities like ours, offering a powerful ministry to a world crying out for love and justice. Our annual budget drive continues only until May 4th this year – so let’s rise together to answer the call before us and get your pledge in soon before the drive ends! So far we are at 73% to our $490,000 pledge goal.
Our Stewardship volunteers have reached out with calls & emails reach out this week, with a friendly reminder for those members and friends who have not made a pledge yet this year – to submit their financial support pledges before our HYPERdrive ends. Our annual budget, funded primarily through your generosity, allows us to be a community of inspiration, connection, and service to the wider galaxy. The Fellowship is sustained primarily by our pledges (roughly 80% of our funding comes from members and friends like you, through our Annual Pledge Drive), so we all truly count on the support of every individual and family.
We ask that you make a written pledge during our April Annual Pledge Drive by either filling out and returning a pledge card at the Fellowship (these are collected by Katy Julich, our office administrator), or click this link to pledge on-line and enter your annual pledge in the giving menu (which can even allow you to use automatic monthly payments).
Are you new to the ways of the Fellowship? One of our young apprentices prepared a video that helps explain how our annual pledge drive supports us: MUUF Pledge Drive 2025 video
And if you missed our service this past Easter Sunday, please see one of our Jedi masters’ personal testimonial on why pledging helps balance himself and the Fellowship: Budget drive testimonial
If you have already submitted your pledge – our Alliance truly thanks you for your generosity, and invite you to our “May the 4th be with you” luncheon after service celebration for members and friends that have supported us this year through pledging.
May the Fellowship be with you!
