The end of the fiscal year is here! Please be sure to pay your pledge for the current fiscal year (July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015) before the end of June so we can properly credit your account. Not a person who pledges? Want to know what it means to support our church financially? Go to our financial giving page, here.  http://firstuuwilm.org/financial-support-first-unitarian-church Did you know that in order to be a voting member you need to participate in church activities AND give an annual contribution of record? That means we need a donation of any amount, which indicates who it is from. If you just drop cash in the collection basket, we won’t know who gave the money. So please use a giving envelope or write a note. We completely understand if people are facing financial difficulties that make it hard to donate. You can make a donation of any amount and still be able to vote at our congregational meetings and have a voice in the life of the church. If you can’t donate even $1, you can be an associate member. That means you can’t vote, but otherwise fully participate in our community. Can’t participate since you live out of the area? You may remain an associate member, with or without a donation. Just let me know. Stewardship is part of the covenant we share. Preparing our annual budget is dependent on our pledge drive’s results. And those results come from you! When making your donation, you are making a contribution your beloved community. Please keep this in mind as you make decisions about your financial support. Every gift is appreciated. This community would not be here without you! Thank you so much.
