Time to Set Up your ’25-’26 Pledge Fulfillment

by

Thank you to all who pledged to support the UUFC in 2025-26. That support enables our Fellowship to pursue its mission: Explore. Love. Act. We gather as an inclusive religious community to search for meaning, build deep connections, and inspire action toward a better world for all.

Fiscal Year 2025-26 begins on July 1st, and it is now time for Step 2 in the stewardship process: updating your contribution payment method and assigning it to Pledge ‘25-’26. If you authorized us -– the UUFC treasurer or business manager – to update your pledge payment in Breeze, that is being done.

If you chose to do the update yourself, please do so by July 1, but wait until after your final pledge payment for ’24-’25 has completed. Instructions on how to do the update can be viewed by clicking the button below, but if you need additional help, email <treasurer@uucorvallis.org> or <businessmgr@uucorvallis.org>.

A final ask: please email <treasurer@uucorvallis.org> once you have updated your pledge, saying that you have done so.

Thank you.
Michael Hughes <treasurer@uucorvallis.org>

Connect Up Hike, 6/28

We’ll gather at the Chip Ross Natural Area trailhead (west end of Lester Ave. in Corvallis) at 9:45 AM and begin hiking at 10:00 AM. We’ll take the Chip Ross Trail (named for one of our founding UUs, Charles Ross), the Lower Dan’s Trail and then loop around Jackson Creek on forest road 612 and back to those same two trails toward the trailhead. Total distance: about 2.5 miles; elevation gain: about 200 ft. An easy summer hike.
