Stewardship Update

3/31/2015

 
On behalf of the stewardship committee and the Board, we want to thank you for your generous support of our faith community. We deeply appreciate your monetary pledges as well as your commitments to give of your time and talents in the year to come.  
If you have not had a chance to turn in your pledge forms, please send them as soon as you can to our treasurer, Dave Macleod, P.O Box 41, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48804-0041. Our Board members need to know soon what the pledge total is so that they can make changes (if necessary) in the proposed budget for next year prior to the annual meeting, which will be held on May 19.   
Thank you again for your dedicated service to our fellowship. Together we can thrive and transform our values into action.

Stewardship Drive Wrap-Up...

3/25/2015

 
If you were unable to attend last Sunday's special service, you missed a wonderful event. The “Celebration Sunday” service was the highlight of this year's stewardship drive as we celebrated together all the gifts of time, talent and treasure given generously to our fellowship to help us grow and thrive. Special thanks to our minister, Dawn, who designed the meaningful service, Laura McBride who gave an excellent reflection on her role and involvement as a steward, and Annette Pratt who joined Dawn in thanking and blessing all the many people whose gifts of service have transformed our faith community into an active, participatory, and committed church. We collected our pledges of time and money in our own “stone soup” pot, symbolizing the miracle of giving: when everybody gives, there is enough for everyone and more to feed other hungry souls. Thank you for your generosity and dedication to our church – your gifts will enable us to continue to live out our mission. Blessing to you all!

If you missed the opportunity to add your donation to the soup pot, please bring it next Sunday or send it directly to our treasurer David Macleod, UUFCM, P.O. Box 41, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48804-0041 by March 29. If you need pledge forms, click here. Thanks so much for doing your share to help us thrive as a community of faith!

Mission Statement Review – April 12 Focus Group

3/25/2015

 
In the spring of 2014, the UUFCM drafted a new mission statement - “Fueled by love, transforming our lives and our world” on a year-long trial basis to assist our development as a faith community. As we approach the one-year anniversary of this action, it is time for us to review our mission. On Sunday, April 12 – following worship at 12:00 p.m. - the Transition Task Force will convene a focus group of UUFCM members and friends to facilitate a discussion review and evaluation of the mission statement. Should we keep the draft mission statement as is or is there need for modification? Does it articulate clearly enough – for both ourselves and others outside our fellowship - what we see as our purpose and mission as a faith community? These and many other questions will be posed to assist us in this evaluation process. This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect together on the essence of who we are as a community…and how we communicate it. We encourage everyone to come and join in the discussion!

MidAmerica Regional Assembly News

3/18/2015

 
Annette Pratt and Capalene Howse have volunteered to attend the MidAmerica Regional Assembly in Naperville, IL in April. We are thrilled they will serve the congregation in this manner. We look forward to learning about their experience. Thanks Annette and Capalene!

Fellowship Life Meeting - This Sunday, March 15

3/11/2015

 
The focus of our monthly Fellowship Life meeting this Sunday (following worship) will be on answering any questions or concerns about the stewardship drive as well as an update on the upcoming review process of our mission statement. The statement that was adopted last year –“Fueled by love, transforming our lives and our world” – was approved for a one year trial at the May 2014 annual meeting. We hope you will plan stay a bit after service to join in the discussion.
