Starting next month (February) we are launching a new way for you to pledge your financial support to RVUUF. Instead of an annual canvass or pledge drive, we’ll be experimenting with a year-round fundraising program to help connect people to each other, to their values, and to the mission of the congregation.
Dear Friends, One of my favorite hymns in our gray hymnal, Singing the Living Tradition, says: The sweet June days are come again; the birds are on the wing; bright anthems, in their merry strain, unconsciously they sing.

Dear Friends, Our Soul Matters theme for March is Balance, reminding us of the upcoming Vernal Equinox, when day and night, light and darkness will be balanced for a time. The Wheel of the Year turns and we move out of the time of long nights and toward summer’s long days.

Years later you could see the … Continue reading Steward’s Corner: Our small lights can help dispel darkness
Yes, I contribute my talent, time and money to RVUUF but I receive so much more in return. I think the most important function of a faith community is to care for every member. I want all the people coming to RVUUF seeking community to feel cherished.
A celebration of gratitude for all who made a pledge to the future of RVUUF was experienced last Sunday, with delicious cakes too! The report of more than $145,000 in pledges so far is deeply appreciated. The request to pledge will continue for those of you who have not done so, by turning your pledge … Continue reading Nan’s News: More than $145,000 in pledges
