What It Cost$ to Give At the request of a number of our members, we have recently added Venmo as a method of giving money  to the Fellowship.  A number of you have been taking advantage of this new payment method.  However, while convenient, you should be aware that Venmo extracts a fee for every transaction because Venmo considers us a business, regardless of our being a church and 501c3 charitable organization.  Venmo’s fee is 1.9% + $0.10 for each transaction.  Here ar

On Sunday, October 5 th , our congregation will be invited to join the Board of SGUUF and two dozen advanced donors in supporting a capital campaign aimed at keeping our UU presence in Georgetown for years to come.  This campaign is designed to build upon the legacy of the 53 members who raised $175,000 in 2013 to purchase our current church facilities.  The goal of this Legacy Fund Campaign is to secure financial commitments of $180,000 from our members and friends over the
