Call for the Offering: May’s Share-the-Plate is designated to help pay Westminster’s annual contribution to the Unitarian Universalist Association. We have neglected our dues for a number of years, allowing this expense to be cut each year when we miss our budget goals. And yet – it’s the UUA who helps us when we need it. It’s through the UUA that we got our wonderful interim minister and through the UUA that our next settled minister will join us. Let’s show our gratitude – and do the right thing. Please contribute generously. And please note that we will not actually share the plate this month: the entire collection in May will go to the UUA. Thank you! To donate click HERE.
