The Stewardship Committee is in the process of organizing cottage meetings to be held in conjunction with the 2023 Stewardship campaign. 

This is an opportunity for small groups to meet in a social setting and reconnect as a community. We will discuss goals and aspirations for our church and ways to share our time, talent and treasure to achieve these goals. 

The meetings are being organized by zip codes, and two meetings will also be held at UUCT after services on Feb. 26 and March 12. If you could volunteer to host a meeting, make sure your name is on a zip code list to receive an invitation or want to attend a meeting at church, please contact us at stewardship@uuctucson.org.

How to Give to the Church

You are asked to use our credit card service (which can be reached by the link or the On-line Giving button on our website), the very easy to use Text-to-Give (1-833-361-5796), or checks sent to the office. The on-line giving gives you the option to identify the contribution and use the memo line for checks. A tutorial video on Text-to-Give is here. After setting up an initial “profile” these options are easy to use for subsequent donations.
