Stewardship and You: A small group structured reflection and dialogue on pledging and stewardship and TUUC Sundays, March 21 and 28, 2021, 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. Why do you give? What do you give? How do you decide? During this year's pledge drive, we are offering an opportunity to come together in conversation and reflect on what it means to give to TUUC. Join other members of the congregation as we contemplate what stewardship can mean in the context of our Unitarian Universalist community and grounded in our shared values. Join us as we engage in thoughtful dialogue about what financial engagement might look like for each of us in 2021-2022!
