Centered in Love: Living Our Values
We are entering a time of renewal but also a time of challenge. Our community is strong, and we are called to counter forces that would imperil our values. How timely that we, members of the Unitarian Universalist Association, voted to reassess the way we think of our 8 Principles, expressing them as 6 Values, all Centered in Love: Justice, Equity, Transformation, Pluralism, Interdependence, and, appropriate to a season of renewing our Stewardship, Generosity.
Four ways to live your values:
♥ Bring your pledge form to the 3/16 service.
♥ Drop it off in the mailbox in the lobby.
♥ Send in your form to Maggi by mail or email (uucmc@uucmc.org).
♥ Or pledge right here! (click through on the buttons)
A Time for Generosity
How will you offer your time, talent, and treasure, Centered in Love?
Time and Talent
It takes all of us to be the UUCMC we value: giving generously of our time and our skills to keep our campus energized and functional, becoming more deeply involved in developing worship services for all ages, supporting our children and youth, working together on the committees that sustain our congregation, enjoying and providing community events, and marshaling justice initiatives for our world. What talents have lain dormant in you? Now is the time to let them flourish, Centered in Love!
Treasure
UUCMC is owned and funded by its members. Everything that we have and cherish (staff, the physical plant, programming) is our financial responsibility. As we rise to the challenges of the times, so must we rise to this responsibility to fully fund UUCMC in a way that recognizes the role it plays in our lives and in our hearts. Now is the time to center our financial giving in Love!
While our average pledge last year was $2,825, please consider these percentage giving guidelines, independent of the actual amount of your income:
♥ Giving 2% to 3% of your annual income to UUCMC is a great start
♥ 4-5% represents a deepening commitment
♥ Giving 6% to 10% is a major gift
We need all of us to participate in the financial care of this congregational community. May our commitment to contribute to the life of this community be Centered in Love.
