To: The UU Church of St. Petersburg

Dear Friends,

This congregation has a great history that goes back more than 90 years, and so many wonderful people have served here, both lay and professional leaders.

Moreover, its home is a strong and gracious presence on the shore of Mirror Lake in Downtown St. Petersburg. The congregation has encountered some challenges in the last few years, but has shown courage, good cheer, faith, and imagination in facing them.

This gift is intended to honor so much of the past associated with this church, to ensure its future by providing a helping hand to a congregation that has the innate potential but lacks resources at this time, and to enhance its ability to share the values and benefits of Unitarian Universalism with the wider community.

A hope was that this gift would provide a boost at this particular time of transition, and your enthusiastic response and commitment have been deeply satisfying. By matching and exceeding this offering in your annual canvass, you are giving yourselves and your community the gift of faith through your stewardship.

Congratulations!

Yours truly,
