Every year we call on our community to financially support UUC with a pledge commitment. It would not be possible to continue UUC programming, staffing and operations without this support. Thank you! Pledging, however, is just the first step; we depend on those who pledge to fulfill that promise by paying. In these extraordinarily challenging times, it is easy to understand how paying on this commitment can have been forgotten. Yet, your support is still vital to all we do within our UUC community and in our service outside of our walls. In reviewing our accounting and membership records, we are noticeably behind on receiving pledge payments compared to previous years. We think they fall into three categories: Some who have a 2025-2026 pledge on record but have not yet made any payment. Some whose personal circumstances may warrant a hardship exemption (which can be granted by a minister). Some who have already made at least one payment but are lagging behind their schedule of payments for this church year. And so we ask you to turn your attention to this: If you made a pledge for this past church year but have not yet made any payment, it is very important that you do so before the June 14 Annual Congregational Meeting so that your membership status will not lapse. If you are unable to pay on your pledge because of financial or other difficulty, please reach out to the church office. We will understand and we want to support you. If you have fallen behind your payments, we ask that you catch-up with an aim of fulfilling your pledge completely by June 30, 2026 (the end of our fiscal year). You can review the status of your UUC pledge payments and other giving activity in UUC Connect . If you have questions about the status of your account, or need to make alternative payment arrangements, please contact the church office. This church is a community of ourselves. We are all stewards of UUC! ~ UUC Stewardship Committee
