Stewardship Commitments

Our sister UU church in Asheville, North Carolina, defines “stewardship” as follows:

Heartfelt giving of our time, talent, and treasure feels good, and we know in our heart and mind that it is the right thing to do. 

Here is how our materialistic culture defines success:  "Get it.  Keep it.  Enjoy it.”

MVUC’s stewards want to change this concept.

“Stewardship is the attitude reflected in the way we live our lives,” says Dr. Wayne Clark of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA).  It is an act of worship that speaks to our human spiritual need to share.  Clark sees stewardship as a vital component of MVUC’s shared ministry.  It is a service to givers who discover their generosity.  He believes that a congregation that initiates conversations and shares stories about giving and receiving will change from a culture of scarcity to one of abundance. 

We agree!  MVUC’s stewards are building our “Hill of Dreams” and changing MVUC’s culture to one of abundance.  It feels good.  It feels right.  The yoke is easy, and the burden is light! 

Please join us!  We are equal opportunity stewards.  You will feel no pressure, just the sincere gratitude of your fellow MVUC stewards.  You will also feel better about yourself.  Please become an MVUC steward by giving of your treasure until it feels right.  We don’t ask for a specific amount, but a large number of MVUC’s stewards give in accordance with the UUA's Suggested Fair Share Giving Guide  that you can print for your own use.

We ask that you fill out a Stewardship Commitment card when you decide to give and return it to the church office.  You may find these cards in the foyer of the church.
