Meeting the Moment Together!

Our annual UUCM Stewardship Campaign, “Meeting the Moment, Together,” is now underway through April 21, 2025. Please read the Stewardship Information Packet for more details.

In this moment, our shared values – with love at the center – call us to come together and strengthen our community so that we can work to advance pluralism, justice, and equity. Your gifts of time and money, which reflect the generous spirit of our members and friends, are helping to make this happen. You are responding to the needs of today and creating a future world where everyone can thrive. During this campaign, we are asking you to make a financial pledge in support of the continued growth of our UUCM community and its ministry. 

The key to success for this campaign is participation, and pledges of all sizes are welcome. If many of our members and friends join the campaign, we will meet our goals of receiving 135 pledges totaling $440,000. 

To learn about the campaign, please review the details in the Stewardship Information Packet. You may also want to attend one of the upcoming Stewardship Information Sessions:

Attend a session and discuss current activities and plans, learn about the campaign, and get your questions answered.

When you have made your decision, please use the online form or the paper form in the information packet to make your pledge.  Then, please provide valuable feedback by completing the 20-minute Congregational Survey.

Again, please respond by April 21st. If you have questions, please contact Fred Hulting or the UUCM Giving Team at give@uucmtka.org. Thank you for your support of our “Meeting the Moment, Together” campaign!
