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.
