Capital Campaign Launch: Warming Our Welcome, Brightening Our Future

  We’ve launched an exciting campaign to make our church more welcoming, accessible, and sustainable. Planned improvements include energy-efficient heating and cooling, upgraded lighting and sound, a modern video system, outdoor enhancements, and a long-term endowment. We invite every member to attend a small group meeting to learn more and get involved. Learn more.

WRITE HERE! WRITE NOW!

Support your UU values and write letters to your federal officials. Tell them what you think or write using guidance/talking points on critical issues from UUSJ. Come, write, then go downstairs for ice cream, or grab your snack and return to the Schweitzer Room to join us. The letters will be promptly delivered by hand to their local offices. Volunteers to do this as well as help with the monthly logistics for WRITE HERE! WRITE NOW! are welcomed. April 13, 2025.
