Each month the Church supports a social justice or service organization by donating 10% of non-pledge offerings at the Sunday services. Action Council will review the recipients and present a slate for 2017-18 at the Annual Meeting on April 23 for a congregational vote. If you would like to make a suggestion for an organization to support, or voice your support for a currently supported organization, please email actioncouncil@uucpa.org or call one of us, before Sunday, March 5.
