A time for reflection, meditation, and renewal – a time to nurture and explore our deeper selves with music, wisdom words, and silence: that’s how we envision VESPERS, a new addition to the HUU worship calendar.

What is it ?

What is a pledge?

A pledge is an offer and a plan to contribute an amount of money you choose to your church over the course of the July-June financial year. 

How is this different from putting money in the plate?

Your pledge is the money HUU counts on. The Sunday cash offering provides a small amount of additional income. 

How many people pledge?

In 2009-10, 34 pledges; in 2010-11, 37 pledges. A pledge from a household is counted once, even if there are two members, so the number of pledges is normally fewer than the number of members.

How much should I pledge?

We hope you will give at a level that reflects your ability to contribute and your enthusiasm for HUU. Every household’s ability to give is different.  The range of individual pledged amounts is very wide. 

Every pledge raises our level of participation, and that encourages others to believe that HUU is worth their financial support. All pledges are valuable because they help the governing body of the church plan the budget that members vote on in May.   

In other words, no pledge is too small. In recent years, the average pledge has been in the $1,350 – $1,550 range. As we propose bigger budgets, we hope for bigger pledges. Continue reading Questions and Answers about Pledging
