Thank you, Jill!

UUCM couldn’t ask for a better first full-time Ministerial Intern than Jill Braithwaite! From leading several worship services to hosting countless letter writing pizza parties and trips to the Capitol – she’s taken UUCM for a great ride! Please sign her very own, Wall of Love by June 9 by clicking here. Make sure to bid her farewell in person at her last sermon and farewell party at UUCM on June 11.  

If you want to contribute to a collective UUCM goodbye gift for Jill, you can donate directly by credit card or check. For credit cards, please visit http://bit.ly/giveuucm and use the Special Donation Campaigns line and enter “Intern Gift” in the text box. Or you can write a check to UUCM with “Intern Gift” in the memo – drop checks off in the secure black box outside the office, or mail it to UUCM, 2030 Wayzata Blvd East, Wayzata, MN 55391. Thank you!
