Stewardship Drive 2018-2019

3/28/2018

 
Stewardship: Taking care of each other, taking care of our church, taking care of our world.


Reflections on stewardship are being shared in worship services for our fellowship's stewardship season. Aaron Jones, Norma Bailey, and Susan Paton have shared their hearts with us regarding why they come and support our lovely fellowship (see Norma's and Susan's reflections here!). Join us to hear more messages through April with the voices of Brigitte Bechtold, Katie Zapoluch, Carolyn Hancock, and Kevin Daum.

A letter and the proposed budget are on their way to you so you may plan your giving for Stewardship Sunday-Earth Day Festival on April 22, 2018. There will be forms and charts available online and on the counter near the name tags by the end of the month.

Path to Membership Workshop - Saturday, April 14

This workshop is designed for those who are ready to make the membership commitment to UUFCM. In this interactive session we explore the deeper meanings and expectations of membership and shared ministry. Childcare is available. Let Laura know by email, phone call, or at church if you would like to attend at [email protected] or 989-772-5512.

Cash Donation Reminder

3/14/2018

 
If you would like to be able to deduct for tax purposes any cash offerings you make to the UUFCM, please be sure to place your offering in one of the envelopes provided in the offering basket (envelopes are also kept on the little table next to the sanctuary door and in some of the seatbacks). Be sure to write your name on the outside of the envelope so our treasurer can keep track of any donations you make throughout the year and provide you a final statement at tax time. 

Stewardship Drive 2018-2019

3/13/2018

 
The theme for our Stewardship Drive is:


Stewardship: Taking care of each other, taking care of our church, taking care of our world.



Reflections on stewardship are being shared in worship services for our fellowship's stewardship season. Aaron Jones and Norma Bailey shared their hearts with us regarding why they come and support our lovely fellowship (see Norma's reflection here!). Join me to hear more messages sprinkled in through March and April with the voices of Susan Paton, Brigitte Bechtold, Katie Zapoluch, Carolyn Hancock, and Kevin Daum.

A letter and the budget will be coming your way so you may plan your stewardship giving on Sunday, April 22, 2018. There will be forms and charts available online and on the counter near the name tags by the end of the month. Activities for our one-day Stewardship Sunday-Earth Day Festival are being confirmed and available soon!



If you are interested in learning more about UUFCM, consider attending the next Welcome to UU orientation session this Sunday, March 25th at 12:00 pm with Laura McBride and friends. Additionally, if you are interested in becoming a member of our fellowship, please attend the Path to Membership workshop on Saturday, April 14th, 1-3 pm. Childcare is available for both sessions! Let Laura know by email, phone call, or at church if you would like to attend any classes at [email protected] or 989.772.5512.

Seriously,  Don't  Miss This Opportunity!

3/6/2018

 
This year we have the opportunity to send a good number of people from UUFCM to the General Assembly (GA), the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Attendees worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy for the Association through democratic process. This year the GA 2018 will be held in Kansas City, MO, June 20-24. 
 
Attending a General Assembly is an amazing experience!  If you’ve never been to a GA, feel free to see other people who have – Laura McBride, Dawn Daniels, Gisela Moffit, Jim and Liz Dealing, Chris Bailey, Mary Alsager and Brigitte Bechtold, and they will confirm! You can also find a great deal of information at uua.org/ga. Just poke around a bit!
 
Because an anonymous donor has given money in support of leadership development to send more people to GA this year, all expenses will be paid (registration, housing and transportation [car]) except for meals. If you are interested, please contact Norma Bailey at 989-560-3952 or at [email protected]. We must have the final count by April 15.
