UU Service Committee -
January is Membership Month!
Every year during the fall and in January, our congregation pays homage to the
Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) by learning about the work they do in the US and around the world. UUSC is the national social justice organization for UUs and relies upon congregations to make up the bulk of their funding to do their good works that put our UU Principles into action. This year’s theme is “Now is the Time for Courageous Change.” We have an opportunity to help our country shift away from the injustices occurring before and during Covid. It has become more obvious that our country needs to ensure that every person can benefit from exercising their full human rights - a priority that calls out for our attention. We cannot return to what was before!
You can join this inspiring group of professional activists by supporting them financially and becoming aware of what they do. Right now they are focusing on climate forced displacements, human rights, immigrants rights and disaster relief.
For just $40 you can become a member along with your family. If feeling generous, $150 or more will be matched by a well endowed congregation on Long Island - The Shelter Rock Congregation. You will get lots of information about the work of the UUSC and will know that your support will be applied in healthy and sustainable ways. UUSC has a top rating on Charity Navigator. To learn more about their work, go to UUSC.org.
How to Donate:
To join or renew your membership, you can send a check to UUSC or access the specially made link for our UU Sarasota congregation to get credit for your generous contribution and membership. The link was set up to make it very easy for you. It is:
https://donate.uusc.org/UUSarasota2022 and will be available this month and a bit into February.
Checks can be sent directly to
UUSC
P.O. Box 808
Newark, NJ 07101-0808.
Be sure to write UU Sarasota in the Memo line. Additionally, the Share the Plate collection will go to the UU Service Committee this month.
