One important way First UU lives its mission to do justice is through our Monthly Special Offerings.
These offerings are collected during service(s) on the second Sunday of the month.
Each member of First UU may nominate one nonprofit social justice organization that promotes our UU values in the larger community.
To nominate an organization, please complete the form and return it to us at the Social Action table on Sunday, by email: mover100@aol.com, or in the Stewardship Mailbox at the church.
Nomination forms must be received by Sunday, December 3, 2023 – no exceptions.
The congregation will be asked to rank their top 10 recipients on Sunday, December 17, 2023, after the worship service and at the congregational meeting that afternoon. Two additional special offerings are reserved for Spring into Action (First UU’s church-wide social justice outreach project) and the Texas UU Justice Ministry.
After the vote, the Social Action Chairs and Co-Ministers will determine the schedule of selected
recipients. All money collected will be held until the end of the year and distributed equally among the 12 recipients in January 2025. For 2022, the amount donated to each recipient was $1,485.00.
Please fill out the Nomination Form here.
