UUFH OUTREACH COLLECTIONS:
UUSC – GUEST AT YOUR TABLE – started Sunday, December 4
At our Sunday service on December 4, Rev. Terry Davis will spoke on the theme “I Believe In…” to launch our third Outreach Collection for 2022-2023. This Collection benefits Guest at Your Table – Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (uusc.org).
.On 12/04, we all enjoyed the exuberant Family Ministry children’s skit with Judy Bonner and Sunday Parker and parents at which UUSC collection boxes/envelopes were distributed.
Donations can be made through January 8, 2023 with check or cash in the returned boxes/envelopes or by a check in the Collection Plate (designate “GAYT Outreach” in the memo line please). ONLINE donations should use the Outreach choice.
Please note that we are encouraging you to use this collection to join UUSC for a gift of $40 or more. If you send a contribution directly, please be sure to include name of fellowship so we can track how many members we have. We might even earn another banner!
In February, we’ll have our annual DREAM SCHOLARSHIP COLLECTION.
