We are now one week from the end of our pledge campaign. Your Board has requested pledges be returned by April 17. If you haven’t filled yours out, please do so without any delay!

Filling out pledge forms is our process to help your elected Board of Trustees estimate what programs and staff we can support and helps them develop a budget that you will approve May 15 at our annual congregational meeting. That is why we need your best estimate concerning what you will give over the next church year beginning July 1. Our goal is to have every member and friend return a pledge, no matter how large or small. It shows your commitment to the church.

You all received a stewardship packet in the mail about four weeks ago with your pledge form and volunteer form. If you have misplaced the packet and would like another hard copy, please ask the greeter who will give one to mail to Treasurer Terrie Robbie at P. O. Box 41, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48804 or email it to her at: tlrobbie1@gmail.com. You can also give your pledge, in an envelope, to Treasurer Terrie Robbie or any member of our Stewardship Committee: Stacey Pattison, Norma Bailey, Guy Newland, Drew Frantz, and Matt Emerick. 
 
If you prefer, you can also make your pledge online at uufcm.org/donate.

We are almost at the end of our pledge campaign. There is great energy in the community, but most of us have still not pledged.
 
Your elected, volunteer Board has requested pledges be returned by Sunday, April 17. If you haven’t filled yours out, please do so without any delay! We cannot plan our budget for the coming year until we know how much we can expect in contributions.
 
Our goal is to have every member and friend return a pledge, no matter how large or small. Do what you can to express your commitment to the Fellowship. This community can exist and operates only through our donations.
 
A convenient way to pledge is to do so online here.

This Sunday, April 18 will mark the end of this year’s stewardship drive. The Stewardship committee would like to thank everyone who has made a financial pledge or expressed an interest in volunteering. If you’re one of the congregation members who still has forms to fill out, please do! The fellowship can always make good use of your time and talents, and we’re just $5,000 away from achieving our pledge goal. Donations are essential to maintaining UUFCM as we work to foster our beloved community and create a more just, more loving world.

If you have any questions about the stewardship drive, volunteering, or next year’s budget, please don’t hesitate to contact Carol Rard, Mary Alsager, Jessica Jernigan, Gisela Moffit, or Guy Newland.
