We Are Closing the Gap at UUCP!

Last week, we asked everyone to help us close the $65,000 gap between our 2023-24 stewardship pledging goal and the amount already pledged. As of Wednesday, June 21, over 50 congregation members and friends have generously stepped up, shrinking our $65,000 shortfall to just over $39,500. With your help, we can make it all the way to our goal and fully support our programming and staff in the coming year.

Let’s Finish Closing the Gap!

Two weeks ago, we asked everyone to help us close the gap between our 2023-24 stewardship pledging goal and the amount already pledged. Our goal was to get 200 pledging units to commit to $180/year—just $15 a month—and raise $36,000. The number of pledging units has now grown to 65, bringing the campaign total to $29,940. That leaves us just $6,060 short of our goal. If we could get 100 people to give $60 for the year (or $5 a month), we could close the gap. If you have not already, please consider joining those who...
