Dear friend,
Each week at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, we take time to greet friends and neighbors, sharing the love at the center of our faith. Each week, we lift our voices in song and ground ourselves in purpose. Each week, we commit to each other.
We commit because even in this tumultuous time, this congregation renews our hope, strengthens our values, and helps us to build a more just and loving world. We commit because in this tumultuous time, this congregation matters more than ever.
Your pledge makes church possible. Our shared generosity fuels our progressive congregation and all that it offers: worship that inspires us, music that moves us, religious education that nurtures our children and youth, justice work that transforms the world, and the beloved church community that supports us, challenges us, and welcomes us each week.
We know that the world needs our church’s message of love and justice, and we know that we need one another to keep that message strong. Click here to make church possible by pledging to support the church next year and to help us reach our goal of $200,000 in pledges before March 5.
With $200,000 in pledges, we’ll be able to increase funding for our vital ministries for the first time in years. With your support, we will expand our programs and commitments during this time when they are most needed:
We know that this goal is within our congregation’s reach, and we know that this congregation can change the world. This year we have often reflected on the teaching of the Hopi elders: “Do not look outside yourself for the leader…we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”* The time of waiting is over––the time to commit is here.
In faith and gratitude,
Rev. Abbey Tennis, Minister
Annemarie Vaeni, Board President
