News and Announcements

On February 15, we kicked off our three-week long canvass in Church and with a brunch in Fellowship Hall.

The annual canvass is an opportunity for reflection and recommitment to First Church and our Unitarian Universalist way of believing.

As Unitarian Universalists, we follow our personal paths to what we must believe. At First Church, we come together as a community to worship and serve together, and to celebrate life and its gifts. Our time, talents, and importantly, our money, are needed to bring our beliefs to bear.

Our canvass this year communicates the Horizon of Hope that our church will proceed into the future with an attitude of forgiveness and peaceful coexistence and a commitment that our faith can and will make a difference within the walls of our church and to the greater community.

Canvass materials, including pledge cards, have been mailed. They will also be available in the Dodson Room on February 22 and March 1. Pledge cards may be placed in the canvass collection basket in Fellowship Hall or they can be returned by mail. The canvass this year will conclude on Celebration Sunday, March 8.

First Unitarian Church now has an online donation page set up on the church website. You can make a pledge payment, make a donation to the Memorial Fund or one of our other special funds, or make a contribution for any other purpose you choose — just be sure to specify the purpose — by accessing the church website.

An “Online Contributions/Registration” link appears directly under the main menu on the homepage of the church website: www.firstuustlouis.org. This is an additional way to authorize payments to the church, not a substitute for the pledging process.

Payments can be made on a one-time basis or on a repeating basis (semi-monthly or monthly), and transactions can be authorized from checking or savings accounts. This donation page is hosted on a secure server.

As we move forward, we’ll also be able to make use of this page for registration and payments for events. Watch event descriptions and announcements for more information.
