UUCPA Canvass (Pledge Campaign) 2008

Great things are happening at UUCPA!

• Our ministry team is enthusiastic, expert and engaged…
• Sunday services are vibrant and inspiring…
• The choir lifts our hearts on Sundays and raises money and awareness for the Opportunity Center with concerts premiering the works of our music director…
• Our beautiful new website is attracting kudos from around the country and new visitors from our local area…
• Sunday school has expanded to two sessions, two Family Chapels alternate to serve the different needs of younger and older children, and the Senior High Youth Group is bursting at the seams and bursting with energy…
• The back patio area is now the beautiful Til Evans Garden …
• The staff are friendly and responsive…
• Family nature outings, Parent Journeys, the Kids’ Auction, and other events connect young families to the congregation and to each other…
• More and more people are discussing current events and intellectual questions at the Humanist Roots Group, Forum, and dozens of Adult Religious Education offerings…
• We are renewing and deepening our commitment to welcoming all people with anti-oppression programs: Weaving the Fabric of Diversity and a repeat of The Welcoming Congregation…
• We are working together for the environment, affordable housing, health care reform…

We give so much to each other and the world.  And you make it happen.  The generous annual pledges of members and friends make up four-fifths of our income.  As we raise the funds for the coming year, our hope is first, that we have another year as full of intellectual exchange, inspiration, and community connection as this one has been; and beyond this, if your generosity makes it possible, that we can expand our programs.  If UUCPA has enriched your life this year, this is the moment to ensure that it keeps thriving and giving us the liberal spiritual alternative that is so important.

This brochure answers frequently asked questions about the pledge campaign.  Please have a look at the pledge suggestions, reflect on what UUCPA means to you, and make a thoughtful choice about your giving for this year.  We appreciate receiving your response quickly so that we can keep the campaign short.  Thank you for helping make great things happen.
