Annual Generosity Campaign - ending this Sunday, March 3rd

Annual Generosity Campaign - ending this Sunday, March 3rd

The end of our pledge-quest is upon us! Our Stewards of the Shire-fold have made a call to all members who have yet not yet brought their promised tribute to our common hearth, ‘ere the final hour on the 3rd of May. Let not this great venture fade unfulfilled - we implore you to deliver your good faith pledge before the final chapter is written.

Our budget target this year is $519,000 - and we have received 69% of our pledge goal in our final week! Of our 163 pledge households, 93 have entered their pledges - so we humbly beseech our other 43% pledging households to get their pledges entered before the last page is turned.

To meet our annual budget, our pledges need to average around $2,200 per member to sustain our Staff, building and programming. We ask that you please be as generous as you can to help us meet our 2026-2027 Pledge goal, as your support will help cover critical Fellowship needs, including:

Budgeting for a Rental Coordinator to assist with the rentals of our hallowed halls.

Increasing our staff salaries and hours to better align with inflation and the rising cost of living in our Shire, and meet our Fellowship’s needs.

Cover the interest payments for the Construction Loan one-year extension with our Operating Budget.

Thy offering shall uphold the essential labors of our Fellowship, and we humbly call upon each to make an investment in our shared future, that the strength and spirit may endure through the ages.

And if you missed it, we bid you turn your gaze upon the eloquent testament of Tanya Van Order, a most esteemed member of our fellowship, delivered this past Sunday:

Should any questions trouble thy mind, thou mayest send word to Tim Davis at tdavis@muuf.org, or to Katy Julich at accounting@muuf.org, and they shall answer with all due haste.

In Fellowship,

Tim Davis
