Unitarian Universalist Service Committee
The March 30 UUSC service was successful in raising the level of awareness of the UUSC in our congregation and bringing contributions for this fiscal year up to almost $1200! With an additional contribution from a dedicated member, we are able to send the UUSC over $1200!!! This includes money raised at the service, Guest at Your Table contributions, and some made earlier that were not clearly designated.
So that future contributions will be submitted correctly and promptly, please route them via me and I will forward to the UUSC. That way they will know for sure what came from our church. If you send a contribution directly or donate at GA, that’s ok, but let me know. I have volunteered to be local rep for the coming year, with Barbara Stevenson’s advice and support. Thank you, Barbara.
The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee recognizes commitment like ours in several ways. A contribution from the church budget in an amount greater than $1 per member represents the James Luther Adams level. For those who don’t know, James Luther Adams was a Unitarian minister, professor, and theologian who taught the prophethood of all believers. That means each of us is required to live out our beliefs in the best way we know how. How good to know we raised enough money to achieve this honor! And thanks, Joe Samples, for first bringing the work of James Luther Adams to light for me many years ago.
When the memberships have been tallied, I will report them. My goal is to become a Creating Justice Banner Society, which is an honor bestowed on congregations in which 25-49% of congregation members are members of UUSC. For us that means a minimum membership of about 45. To do that we need only increase 10% each year for a few years.
Materials on the activities of the UUSC are available by request. Ask me!!! Cindy Hill
