GIVE NOW

BUT, WHY GIVE?  The simple answer is by doing so you help support UUMC and our missions. Fundamentally, the act of giving to the Church is an expression of love as it provides the spiritual leadership, pastoral care and basic provisions for the needs of the community we share, including the basics. Your giving can, in fact, change lives.
