Our congregation's generous financial support enables UPC's witness and ministry in the world. This Spring that generosity expanded to include the Legacy Campaign, allowing us to finish Dunham Hall and send Bob and Marla Dunham into retirement well-celebrated. However, the day-to-day expenses of building maintenance, staff salaries, youth and children's programming, and support of the church's mission partners depend on regular offerings to the church's operating budget, which often dwindle in the summer. As you are able to maintain your regular offering through these busy months, please know that the church is grateful for your support of our shared work.
