Dear Members and Friends of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Sterling,
It has been quite a year thus far, both inside and outside our walls — I hope you feel renewed energy and loving care when you enter our door. We’ve had an unexpected ministerial transition from Rev. Ashley Burczak to Cara Fortner, who feels like the right minister for us at the right time. Our worship services continue to feature thought-provoking sermons, beautiful music, and moments for reflection and deepening.
We are a growing congregation, offering opportunities to serve each other and our community in thoughtful relationship with the movement that asks us to love. We are nurturing spirits and minds, teaching and guiding our children as they grow. These are turbulent times and we are responding, in faith, with hope and action to empower the Beloved Community we dream of.
The time has come to pledge our financial support to UUCS for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026 and running through June 30, 2027. The Finance Committee has been working the numbers to determine our budgetary needs for next year. A proposal will be presented at the Stewardship Lunch on Sunday, March 15, 2026 after the service, to which all are joyfully invited. Please RSVP here.
We are hoping you will pledge at the lunch. If you cannot attend, you may mail your pledge card, place it in the offering basket during a service, or pledge online via the form below by March 31st.
Thank you for your support and for being an integral part of our UUCS community. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at stewardship@uusterling.org.
In Faith and Gratitude,
Jackie Mills, UUCS President and the Stewardship Team
