May and June Community Outreach Project:
Peanut Butter and Jelly Donations for the Food Bank Children's Programs
We are collecting peanut butter and jelly for our May and June CORE (Community Outreach) project. These donations will help support children and families during the long summer break when school cafeterias are closed.
Bring your donations to church on Sunday or whenever the office is open during the week. Non-breakable containers are preferred. Questions? Reach out to Tara Bertino or Rachel Fitch.
UCR Celebrates High Prosperity Consciousness In 2024!
The Fun(d)Raising Team pulled off a number of wonderful gatherings that resulted in blessing the church and its ongoing programs. Last year’s February Hearts in Unity fundraiser lasagna dinner, a big favorite, made $2500; our connecting Homecoming BBQ dinner netted $365; the Dawg Daze of Summer Raffle netted a laudable $2973 (many thanks to the anonymous donor who contributed $1000 in prize money); and our fun Falloween Chili Cook-off raised $924. Other events included a fantastic spring concert with New Thought rock star Daniel Nahmod, which raised $597, and Rev. Linda Martella-Whitsett’s illuminating Prayer workshop in conjunction with Unity Center of Peace in Chapel Hill, which benefitted UCR with $1000. The grand total of funds raised in 2024 was an impressive $8359.
Special thanks to Betty Sari and her Fun(d)Raising Team (Ken, Nancy, Pat, Elaine, Morgan, Jackie, and Melanie) for their fabulous party-planning skills, creativity, and contributions of time, talent, and treasure to make UCR events prospering–and fun–for the church. And much love and appreciation to the UCR spiritual family for volunteering at and donating to these beloved activities. Our church boasts an unusually high overall voluntarism rate–a whopping 75% of our community serves in some way. Never doubt that you are loved and appreciated. See you at our next event!
