"The Unitarian Church of Montpelier is a special place that supports our whole family in finding our individual sense of spiritual meaning and belonging. We give generously to enable this congregation's growth and to support UCM’s work in the Community, which is more important now more than ever.” -Paul and Julie Curtin
The Unitarian Church of Montpelier is a beacon of hope in troubling times. In our current political climate, our mission to welcome all, nurture our spiritual journeys, serve human need, and protect the Earth is more important than ever. Together in loving community, we can forge a path forward through the darkness. 
As a democratically run religious community, the contributions of time, talent, and treasure of members and friends are essential to fulfilling our mission. About 80% of the income for our operating budget comes from individual pledges, and we are aiming to raise $254,500 from pledges to support next year’s operating budget. We have already raised $111,402, and we need your help to reach our goal.
Next year’s budget includes strategic investments to help us carry out our mission even more effectively. We plan to increase hours for both our Acting Director of Religious Education and our Sexton, set up technology to live stream our Sunday service, support interfaith organizing, and more. 
Make your pledge online at http://bit.ly/ucmpledge and help support this work. 
Pledge materials will also be mailed. The pledge drive will conclude on Sunday, April 2. Please make your pledge online or with a pledge card before then.
Thank you to all you who have already made your pledge for the 2017-2018 church year. We are grateful for all the ways you give generously to this community and for joining together to make our pledge drive a success!
