Thank you for your generous donations this month!

Greetings from the desk of the Point Guard!

This is the first of what I hope to be a monthly column highlighting important events and accomplishments here at UUCA.  Why point guard you ask?  When I was introduced by Rev. Aaron he called me the "point guard".  I played basketball most of my life and played the position of point guard.  I also was presented a jersey on my first Sunday.  I thought it would be an appropriate title for my blog. 

This first blog post I want to celebrate the generosity of our congregation.

The new building project dedicated in 2012 supports many community groups that do not have resources to secure their own space. The Center has hosted dozens of educational, fundraising, and advocacy events since its construction, promoting our values of hospitality and inclusion. Also, The Center provides our own ministries space to rehearse/celebrate/perform, which frees up other smaller rooms in the building for scores of non-profit and partner planning sessions and community meetings in our smaller rooms. 

Since the capital campaign officially ended in June, we have now absorbed the balance of the construction line of credit directly in the operating budget.  What does this mean?  Each month costs this congregation around $8500 just to pay for the recent upgrades to the campus. 

The past three weeks you have given $4740 that will go directly toward the principal balance of this mortgage of 1.5 million dollars.  Every dollar helps – so thank you!  We have one week to go and are $3,760 away from making a full month payment.  It would be a great accomplishment for the month!  Click here to give.  This new year will bring other opportunities to help reduce the mortgage – so keep your eye on connections to learn about ways you can support this work.

Thank you for all of your support!
