Giving

Joyful Giving

Our ministries are supported through the generous giving of our members and friends. Giving supports our worship services, our music, our programs for children and youth, and the opportunities we provide for community action and service. Our spiritual lives call us to generosity of spirit, of words, of heart, and of money. If First Unitarian Church has found a place in your heart, will you help support all we do together?

shaping tomorrow together

Our community at First Unitarian is a mosaic of individuals, each bringing unique talents and passions to shape a vibrant, living whole. Your past support and participation have contributed to our ability to provide meaningful programs and services that touch the lives of many. As we look ahead to the next year, we come together as a community to shape our future.

The majority of funding for our ministries comes from ongoing annual support from members and friends. We are asking our members and friends to renew their pledge from last year and consider a modest increase. We know that some will be able to make an increase, some will not, and some will be able to do even more than is asked. If you are giving for the first time, please consider a gift that is right for you. The chart below may help you in making that gift.

We invite you to join us in shaping the future of the church so that we may continue to thrive as a congregation. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a difference in our ability to worship, connect, and serve. 

Based on your level of engagement and what’s in your cup, how do you consider your pledge? Can you commit to moving in a more generous direction? What is your personal goal for getting to the level of giving and engagement that is right for you?

When you're ready, please enter your pledge in our online campaign. If you'd like to talk to a member of the Stewardship Team, please contact us and someone will be in touch soon. Thank you for your generous giving of time, talent and treasure to First Unitarian Church.

“His guitar work is breath-taking, his lyrics mind-spinning, his singing soul-soothing and his feet-on-the-ground optimism nothing short of healing.”--Marilyn Rea-Beyer, music director, WUMB Radio, Boston

"To attend one of Peter's performances is an opportunity to travel through time, imagination, and spirit, and come out with a smile on your face and a good feeling in your heart."
