Our mission statement reads: “In the Universalist spirit of love and hope, we give, receive and grow.”
One of the ways that we are called to grow is in our generosity. Generosity is a spiritual practice that helps us move from scarcity to abundance, from isolation to community, and helps us align our actions with our values.
Generosity is a foundational spiritual practice for us as individuals and as an institution.
How do you live into your faith through generosity? How freely do we give of our time, our attention, our talent and our treasure? How might our giving reflect our deepest values? We hope you will join us in giving of your time, talent, and treasure to strengthen, sustain, and grow our vibrant faith community.
