Partner Churches
Who We Are
The Partner Church Committee fosters relationships with MVUC’s two partner churches in Szentháromság, Romania and Mawlat, India, their Unitarian congregations and their villages. Partnership involves mutual cultural understanding, exchange and spiritual connections. Other support includes financial contributions from MVUC that enable church and educational activities in our partner congregations and villages. The MVUC PCC provides assistance to help improve the lives of the congregants and the villagers of its partners. Personal communication and visits are vital parts of partnership.
What We Do
The Partner Church Committee strives to continue to enhance and deepen the relationship between our congregation and our partner churches in Romania and India. We continue to educate and create awareness about partnership with members and friends of MVUC. The Partner Church Committee provides the following activities:
· Five brunches held throughout the year
· Annual Partner Church dinner
· Alternative Gifts program at holiday time
· Special Collection during the Annual Partner Church Service
