Would you like to be a part of creating a UUCP team to co-sponsor a refugee family? Families are from countries all over the world and are newly arrived in Phoenix. Get all the details on April 2nd after service in the Johnson Room, when a representative from Lutheran Services will be explaining the program.
A team of 5-6 volunteers will support each family. There is no financial obligation. Your commitment will be a minimum of three months, and training will be provided. If you are interested, please attend or contact us by email for more details.
Save the date! Sunday, April 23 at 12:30, in the Johnson Room.
Program Council will meet for the first time in 2023. Your presence and participation is valued, in person or via Zoom.
We have now collected 270 pounds of food and sundries for the PV Community Food Bank! You have two more chances to contribute: Bring items to the upper parking lot Saturday, March 18 and/or on Sunday, March 19 before and/or after the service and at the Neighborhood Connections gathering afterwards. We have a goal to collect 625 pounds in this drive. See this list of most-needed items and add some of them to your shopping list.
Read more about the PV Food Bank. It services the entire PV School District, which is outside the Town of PV.
If you need help in getting your contributions to UUCP, email us at civicengagement@phoenixuu.org and we will arrange to help you. Thank you so much!
March 15 this year marks three full years since the first UUCP live streamed COVID-era service. Comfort and community has been delivered to wherever you were from staff and members in their own local and remote locations. Over time and space, UUCP has proven an enduring progressive legacy in Phoenix and beyond. Thank you for accepting the responsibility to care and preserve our congregation today and into the future. The legacy we leave will be evidenced in the recorded programs, values we live into, and the examples we set in the larger community. We have set and achieved our goals year over year because you made it possible.
Our friends and members are recording their own reflections on what UUCP means to them. Take a moment to listen to Nigel Perez remind us what UUCP means. Others have shared their thoughts in service and by video; take a moment to record your own and submit to stewardship@phoenixuu.org.
We are at least ⅓ of the way towards our $625,000 Stewardship Campaign financial goal, with approximately 70 pledges received! Thank you for your commitment and financial support. Please take a moment to make a responsible financial investment in UUCP.
Additional information is online: https://new.phoenixuu.org/connect/give/stewardship/. If you have any questions, trouble, concerns, please email giving@phoenixuu.org for assistance.
From March 18 – May 27, there will be an art exhibition in the UUCP Sanctuary by a few members of the Tempe Artists Guild, an instructor, and two members of our congregation.
Part of the artists’ proceeds will be donated to “Keys to Success”, an organization that helps support foster children who are aging out of their foster families’ care. Please look on the table near the entrance for flyers about this.
We hope you’ll consider coming to the reception on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 from 4:30-5:30pm and 6:30-7:30pm. A representative from “Keys to Success” and many of the artists will be on hand to answer questions.
Artworks will stay on exhibit till May 27, but can be purchased in advance at the reception, or by contacting Stephanie Breidel-Vigil, our administrator.
