"A Pagan, a Buddhist, and a Liberal Christian Walk Into a Church..."
 

That church would most likely be a Unitarian Universalist congregation. As our nation continues to grow more ethnically diverse, it is also becoming more religiously diverse.
 

Even though fewer people are joining traditional Christian churches, many still seek spiritual communities in order to experience personal transformation and to engage in meaningful service to the greater good.

10:00 am
Rev. Jennifer Ryu
All-Ages Flower Communion
"Fare Thee Well"
 
In her final sermon, Rev. Jennifer says goodbye to the Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists, recalling the past nine years of ministry to this wonderful congregation.
 
We will celebrate Flower Communion today, so please bring 1 flower to add to our collective bouquet as a symbol of the diversity and beauty of our community.
 

THE ANNUAL CANVASS CONCLUDES
At Sunday’s Congregational meeting, I reported the following results:
As of last week, WUU has received annual canvass pledges of $306,490 from 174 families, representing about 93% of our goal of $331,000. At the same point last year, 180 households had pledged $315,746.

Ultimately we raised $327,726 in pledges for the current year from 191 households, so I am cautiously predicting that this year’s canvass will raise at least $315,000. That still leaves the Board and the Finance Committee with some significant decisions to make, so your gifts do make a difference and will continue to be welcome for the budget year beginning next month. We are still waiting to hear from about 22 households who have not yet responded.

WORKSHOP ON MONEY THIS SUNDAY
Martha Elim, Trenna Tankersley and Nancy Carnegie will facilitate a workshop this Sunday on our relationship with money and how it connects us to the world around us. Through your participation, you can learn about the role of money as a class barrier and as a tool of social justice when we get together in the Sanctuary after the Sunday service. The workshop is free to attend and lunch will be provided to those who have registered in advance. Prior attendance at February’s workshop is not required. Childcare available with advance registration.  Please register in advance here .

QUESTIONS?
Please ask a Stewardship Committee member or either Ellyn Stephens or Suzanne Huddleston in the WUU Office.

THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
Remember that your gifts help WUU thrive and bless the world.
