Drawing the Circle Wide
For over 65 years, UUCMC has been a beacon of love, justice, and community-building in Monmouth County and beyond, transforming lives and transforming the world, sustaining us all. If these past two years of the pandemic have taught us anything it is this: the circles of our beloved community of communities are wider than ever. Our financial support of UUCMC allows us all to continue making a difference in the circles of our lives.
Draw the circle wide, draw it wider still. Let this be our song: no one is alone.
We’ll be side by side. Draw the circle, draw the circle wide.

Upping Your Pledge Commitments of Time, Talent, and Treasure
Time and Talent
UUCMC thrives only when all of us volunteer our time and share our skills. How might you increase your involvement in: planning Sunday services, faith development for children and adults, plant maintenance, meetinghouse decor, ushering, serving on committees, and participating in worship?
Treasure
We are UUCMC. We own it. UUCMC can only be what we invest in it. Where are you on the pathway of support?
Potential: You believe in the vision and mission of UUCMC but have not yet given financially to support it. Everyone starts here: how many moves forward are you willing to make this year?
Emerging: You give to UUCMC, but not consistently. One-time gifts do matter, but we can only draw our circles wider with ongoing giving commitments.
Intentional: You consistently give a percentage of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) to put our values into action. The average UUCMC pledge is $2,210. Are you prepared to up your pledge?
Tithing: You give 10% of your AGI to UUCMC. Tithing is a spiritual practice that grows our hearts and puts our principles ahead of material concerns.
Extravagant: You give over and above a tithe of your AGI to UUCMC. UUCMC literally could not exist without you.
