The Fellowship of the Giving - Annual Generosity Campaign

The time is now upon us! Beginning on Sunday, March 29th - we bid thee, join us in support of our Annual Generosity Campaign—our most “...precious…” Pledge Quest for the year ahead!

A new Age is dawning in the Shire of Morristown—and though shadows lengthen and the road before us may seem uncertain, our Unitarian Universalist congregation shall shine as a steadfast beacon of hope, compassion, and justice. As the Fellowship in the Middle-earth tales of old, so are we called to rise as one, heeding the summons to bear light, love, and courage into our realm in need. Our budget target this year is $519,000 - a hearty and courageous sum!

For this is the season when our Board of Trustees, staff, and devoted committees labor with care and purpose to forge the plans for the coming Fellowship Year. Yet even the sagest counsels and most careful designs cannot be brought to life without thee. It is thy generous pledge that sustains our shared mission, a vital force that keeps our Fellowship a welcoming haven, and carries our good work far beyond the bounds of our halls.

To meet our annual budget, 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.

We welcome you this Sunday, March 29th to tarry after the service - to partake in hearty fare and flowing drink, to make merry in celebration of the campaign’s beginning, and to claim thy pledge scrolls for the journey ahead.

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
