We celebrate the conclusion of another successful pledge campaign, and the congregation voted to adopt the Board-recommended balanced operating budget this past Sunday. Thanks to your generosity, in both the initial campaign and the follow up solicitation, UUFD will be able to fully fund anticipated expenditures for the church year beginning July 1, 2023. In addition, we were able to seed money for reserve funds to continue to offer the OWL sexuality education program, the Music/Choir Scholarship for a FLC music major, and the Mortgage Burning Fund. And we have already set aside money to carry out the coming year’s ministerial search, to re-paint the Bowman Hall exterior and to update our aging HVAC (heating, ventilation, A/C) systems.

We should all be especially proud of the outcome of the follow up campaign. We are a generous congregation. Simply put, our congregants clearly demonstrated that they value the connection and spiritual growth they find here.
