Stewardship Campaign 2026-27 
March 1 - March 31 The Power of Us

Our 2026–27 Stewardship Campaign is underway, with a goal of $180,000 in pledged support—a 10% increase over last year. Pledges make up nearly 60% of our annual budget and are the foundation of everything we do. Reaching our goal ensures stability; exceeding it opens new possibilities. We are now in the second-to-last week of the campaign. If you haven’t yet made your pledge, please do so soon. Every pledge matters. That is the Power of Us.

 

Looking for Interested Hosts for our Dinner Fest

Volunteer for this dinner fundraiser by offering to host people at your home. Hosts can submit receipts for the cost of food and beverages to receive a donation- in-kind receipt. If interested, please contact Jane Ebbern

 

Service Auction

Our annual Service Auction is collecting donations from March 8 thru April 5 to help raise funds for the church. Bidding will commence on March 22 in Wickenden and end April 19. Questions may be directed to January or Jocelyn KA. Donation Forms will be available in Wickenden or contact January for more detailed information. 

 

UUA Bookstore Order

The Membership Committee is organizing a group order through the InSpirit UU Bookstore to help reduce high costs from taxes, currency conversion, tariffs, and shipping by sharing them collectively. Final pricing will be confirmed when the order is placed, with additional costs divided among participants and payment due upon delivery. Orders can be submitted to Margaret McCrae or via email by April 30, 2026.

 

Cabaret Lite

Cabaret returns for one night only on May 2, 2026—save the date for an evening of creativity, fun, and community. All are invited to share a talent (or try something new!) in a supportive, joyful atmosphere, with sign-up details coming soon. Prefer to help behind the scenes? Reach out to Rev. Samaya to get involved.

 

Calling all Pagans

Clothing Swap

Refresh your closet! This free, public event on April 18 welcomes attendees to bring clean clothing donations, which can also be dropped off at the church by April 12. Join us in keeping clothes out of landfills and supporting community members—contact Jen Allore at allore.j@calgaryunitarians.ca for details.

 

Calgary Co-op Gift Cards

Support our church while you shop! Purchase Calgary Co-op Gift Cards, and the Co-op donates 5–6% back to our community. Use the cards for groceries, gas, prescriptions, or treats—every purchase helps Calgary Unitarians reach our fundraising goals.
