Share the Plate: Minister’s Discretionary Fund
Reverend Christine uses this fund for needs in our congregation and the community that might not otherwise be met with congregational resources—especially for those who are in crisis or have immediate financial needs. This fund has been critical these last few years and was depleted this past year as some members of the congregation had some big needs. It is used to offer meaningful assistance to help with housing, food, transportation, health care, and funeral costs. Every cent you give goes back out to help those in need—confidentially.
This is the only time of the year that money is requested for this fund, although donations are always welcome. We appreciate your generosity as we support each other with compassion and care.
For all that you give to the Minister’s Discretionary Fund to help our community, we are so grateful.

Help Share the Holiday Spirit With Our Afghan Refugee Family
The Hamidis will be spending their first holiday season in the US, and although they are Muslim and do not celebrate Christmas, they will certainly experience how festive our culture becomes at this time of year, and the Refugee Team will introduce them to some of the traditions of the season.
We ask your help with the gift giving part, to honor their presence in the US and all they have accomplished since arriving in May. The Hamidis are a family of eleven, with nine children from age 2 to 19. Father and oldest son (age 19) hold down good jobs at a furniture making factory, at which they are skilled, but with such a large family their close-to-minimum wages do not provide much discretionary funds. We would like to provide each member with a gift card or two to buy something of their choice. The six school-age girls, who are doing extremely well in school, in particular would like clothes and art supplies; the two pre-schoolers need books and toys. The adults need clothes and hygiene items.
To help support this family, visit the white holiday tree at the back of the Sanctuary from December 3 – 17 to drop off a $25 gift card from Walmart or Target or make cash or check contributions. You can also mail a check to UUCP with “refugee fund” in the note line. Please make sure to mail your donations by December 18. To donate online, visit phoenixuu.org/refugees.
Your generosity in supporting this wonderful family is much appreciated, as we show them a way that love and care is expressed by this congregation.
