Who I Am

Click here to join us on Zoom.

Identity is central to a life of integrity, as we seek to live authentically in the world. Together we explore the range of gender identity, and how by our pronouns we are known to each other.

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 October 2022, the Board of Trustees recognizes the Tech CrUU

The board would like to thank and congratulate the Tech CrUU for its wonderful work in dealing with the extraordinary technological challenges over the last several years. Beginning with the pivot to all-virtual services from Fellowship Hall in March 2020, to the “dual platform” services from the lower level of Hillside, back into Fellowship Hall and finally to the new digital audio technology in the renovated Sanctuary, the CrUU has demonstrated their dedication to the value of the vision and mission of our faith community. Without comprehensive communication, UUCCH cannot deliver its message faithfully and effectively. Many challenges had to be met and overcome during the process, including delays in delivery and installation of equipment, minimal training, and numerous hardware and software glitches. But with hard work, persistence and teamwork, the Tech CrUU has met, and continues to meet, those changing demands to present quality technically-enabled services. The future use of our communication through its use of video projections, Zoom and other processes gives added value to UUCCH and to the community at large who may choose our church for presentation of its own programs.

THANK YOU to Shirley, Susan, Rich, Randy, Tom, Larry, and Bill.
