As a glimmer of light to aid our quest, one of our long standing members, Margaret Malischak, has offered forth her singular works of glass, wrought with cunning art, at a special sale this coming weekend - with all the garnered proceeds flowing straight toward the fulfillment of our sacred Generosity Campaign, “The Fellowship of the Giving”.
All the cunning works of her hand shall be esteemed at but a suggested offering, that they may be within the reach of the humblest purse, yet still prompting the noble spirit of generosity. Ye are bidden to seek out Chu Hall after the assembly of worship, there to behold and perchance acquire one of these individual tokens, to serve as a lasting reminder of our wondrous campaign.
Hearken, and receive new tidings concerning the progress of our solemn pledge-quest. The long-sought conclusion of our solemn pledge-quest draws nigh, to be fulfilled ere the passing of a fortnight. Our Stewardship-hobbits are currently calling our pledging members, offering a courteous reminder to fulfill their pledge, ende the final hour on the 3rd of May. Let not this great venture fade unfulfilled - we implore you to deliver your good faith solemn pledge!
Our budget target this year is $519,000 - and we have received 56% of our pledge goal! Of our 163 pledge households, 66 have entered their pledges - so we humbly beseech our other 60% pledging households to get their pledges entered ‘ere the sands of time runneth out.
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:
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.
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
