Unity Church Pledge Drive
October marks the beginning of Unity’s annual pledge drive when we ask each other to declare our financial support for the church’s worship and programs for the next year. How should we think about our financial contributions to Unity Church in 2026? Our new ends statements contain some provocative, even dangerous, words to guide our generosity. What if we trusted that as we live into those words, we would find joy singing even amid heartbreak? Not fleeting happiness but deep and abiding joy, not found in things or circumstance, but in the best of who we are and who we yearn to become. What would it mean if we expected that joy and yoked ourselves to it?
This pledge drive, we invite you to yoke to joy. Consider how your financial commitment to the church can connect you—and yoke us all—to the joy of active stewardship. Notice how the generosity that propels our pursuit of the church's mission and ends opens us to the transformative grounding at the heart of true joy. Even in these challenging times—climate change, social division, economic uncertainty—your pledge makes Unity a place of hope. Your support sustains our ministry and creates a welcoming home where life in all its diversity can flourish. Know that every pledge matters! Your pledge card includes an invitation to step up your pledge and bring our congregation closer to a pledge base that fully funds our operating budget and mission. If you haven't received a pledge card in the mail, please pick one up at the church or reach out to Laura Park at [email protected]. |
