The 2023-24 Stewardship Campaign is Underway!
Our 2023-2024 UUCM Stewardship Campaign, “Warmth of Community, Fire of Commitment,” is underway! In the recent listening sessions, many of you described “community” as one of UUCM’s great strengths. During the campaign, we will ask you to make a financial pledge in support of the continued growth of our UUCM community and its ministry.

To learn more, read the Happenings Article and watch this video introduction. You may also want to attend a Stewardship Information Session via Zoom at 7:00pm on April 12 or 17, or at church after the service on April 16. Watch the Friday Update for details.

When you are ready, please make your pledge and help us reach our goal of 125 pledges and $385,000. Then, provide valuable feedback to church leaders by completing the 15-minute Congregational Survey. 

Thank you for your support!

Today’s mid-week message comes from Rabbi Ricky Kamil, congregational organizer with our community partner Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative. Ricky is working with UUCM to organize our participation, along with many other congregations in the west metro, in the March 20 Lobby and Rally Day at the state capitol to support Bring It Home, Minnesota.

There are two events at the capitol on March 20: 1) visiting with legislators in the morning, 9 a.m.–1 p.m., and 2) a rally in the capitol rotunda 1:30–2:30 p.m. Register for one or both here. For folks who want to participate in both, we’ll have a bus that leaves the UUCM parking lot at 8:15 a.m. and returns after the rally, about 3:15 p.m. Lunch will be provided at the capitol. Watch the Friday Update email and the Happenings page for more details.
