Stewardship Pledge Form

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and we’ve had a great year at UUCD! We installed a native plant garden in memory of Betty Albrecht, received a city grant paying almost half the costs of two new furnaces, and housed a highly successful overnight warming center this winter working with the Commuity Empowerment Campaign. Our fall capital campaign, two winter farmer and artisan markets, and the chili cookoff with dessert auction put the “fun” in our fundraising efforts. Weeknights have been active as members and friends gather for yoga and meditatation, volunteer to staff  the overnight warming center when needed, and join together for our spring Game NIght. Our choir has sung regularly under the direction of Toni Tollerud, with the help of our pianist, Bonnie Anderson. There is so much to be thankful for, and now it’s time to pledge ourselves to good times ahead.

There is still more that we want to do! For example, we would like to replace the sign at the front of our building, repair the chronic leak in the roof, rennovate the church office, deep clean the building, continue to improve the technology for our services, create a more vibrant  atmosphere in our building by decorating the hallway with large photos of UUCD activities along our hallway, and more. 

Our existence as a congregation is, first and foremost, a communal endeavor. We rely on one another, and we all benefit from that interdependence. Pledges are the most significant source of income for our Operating Budget, and we depend on them to fund our everyday expenses, from utility bills to staff salaries. Our Pledge Goal this year is $92,000.

Giving to our community with time, talent, and treasure allows us to coexist and to continue to build beloved community.  Please make your pledges by May 4 in time for the UUCD Board to work out a new operating budget to be approved at the May 18 Congregation Meeting!.
