How are we called to be in relationship in this changing world? The creation of beloved community is a learning journey, as we nurture the perspectives and skills that kindle the flame of love, the spirit of this church.

Honoring Our Past and Building Our Future

The theme for our annual giving campaign this year is Honoring Our Past and Building Our Future, acknowledge the strengths of this church as we create new patterns and traditions to build a future of connection, trust and abundance.  As we live into the values of community, trust, love and learning, there is so much we can do among our members and in the wider community.  With your financial support, we will continue to fairly compensate our staff, meet our financial obligations in the community, and to care for our buildings and our beautiful grounds.  Social justice and outreach remain central to our identity, and we are using technology in new ways to touch the lives of people who need this faith.

If you are in a solid financial position this year, please consider making a substantial increase in your annual pledge, since there are some among us who may have limited financial capacity in this time.

We encourage you to pledge and set up your payment online by clicking on “Give” at the top of the uucch.org website, to make life simpler and more predictable for us all.  Guidance on this will be provided in the coming days. Read the full stewardship letter here.

We appreciate your generous support of UUCCH.

In gratitude, Your Board of Trustees and Pledge Campaign Leaders

Monthly Recognition for Volunteer Service

For December 2022, the Board of Trustees recognizes the Arts and Aesthetics Committee

A & A is a very diverse and fundamentally important committee for several reasons:

Aesthetics displays one’s set of principles or worldview as expressed through outward appearance, behavior, or actions. Anywhere from the use of a room or a space, to furniture chosen, iconography, banners, plaques, pamphlets or even down to the color of a sanctuary wall, we show how we live and share our values.

When the building of the new church began, in the late 1990s , multiple areas and functions for those places were planned. From a large Sanctuary, the Commons, Fellowship Hall, classrooms, to the newly designed Gallery, Aesthetics had to take on an expanded role of care and purpose. Previous leaders had the idea and vision of creating a gallery area where arts and artifacts, created by members of the UUCCH family (and invited community members), could be displayed and even sold to help the church and the artists financially. Thus, the Craft Fair and Gallery Shows were created.  So Arts was added to its name.
