How to Make our Deficit Budget Balanced

Dear HUUC Members and Friends,

Many thanks to all who attended our Annual Meeting on June 1, 2025 both in person and virtually. We had a very healthy and active Q & A session on the budget for our next church fiscal year, and we approved the budget as proposed.

Based on our current projected pledge total of $202,000 the approved budget contains a $5,800 deficit. In my remarks on June 1, I asked that we all come together to erase this deficit with what amounts to a modest pledge increase of about $65 per pledge if we can all chip in. Of course, not every pledging member and friend is in a position to offer an increase, but if you are, please be generous. 

Simply reply to me to let me know what amount you’d like to add to your pledge to:

and I’ll take care of the tallying and recordkeeping. And if you need a reminder of what you have pledged for next fiscal year, just let me know. 

All the best,

Reid
