Giving Gifts
Our church takes a very active role in social justice issues; one way we have chosen to do so is by sending the offertory collection of the third Sunday of some months to a worthy organization. Past recipients include:
Progress in LGBTQ rights
Local environmental action
Education/action to address global warming
Ethical eating issues, including GMO use in food
Immigration reform & outreach to minorities
Reproductive justice
Job training for the marginally employed
Mountaintop removal education/action
Prison ministry
Landlord-tenant justice
Restoration of voting rights for felons
As a committee, we also diversify our selections among local, national, and international beneficiaries. Our regular support of social justice organizations highlights the generosity and open-heartedness of our spiritual community and complements UU seven principles.
