apprehensive about our current pledge drive. As I mentioned in the pledge
letter, we at FUUSM have experienced some strife over the past year, and I was
worried that these events might impact our pledge drive negatively. But in the
initial submissions of completed pledge forms, I have been very gratified and
relieved.<span>  </span>Several FUUSM members have
continued their financial commitment, and some have even INCREASED their pledge
over last year’s. This speaks to the optimism and commitment that is still
manifest in our congregation!<span></span></span></p>

please submit your completed pledge form by mail, by hand at the FUUSM office,
in the offering plate at worship service, or you can just email your annual
