Welcome to the Fellowship

We are a liberal religious congregation and a dynamic, caring community. We value the inherent worth and dignity of each person, regardless of who you are or whom you love, your family or personal circumstances, or the path your faith calls you to walk.

Unitarian Universalism is an open-minded religion that encourages people to seek their own spiritual path. At UUFR, you can nurture your spirit and put your faith into action to create a just and compassionate world.

We're glad you're here!

 

"I don't think I will ever forget the summer of 2013 for the love and support I felt pour over the Halifax Mall on those Moral Mondays. I have never felt more proud and grateful to be a member of UUFR."

Emily McGuire

Your Generosity Helps UUFR Serve the World. Thank You!

 

The Fair Share Giving Approach to Stewardship

The generosity campaign creates both opportunities and questions for each of us. The opportunity is to help UUFR become what we would like it to be. Yet we can only fulfill the vision of what we can become as an organization if we as individuals give with combined generosity.
Hard questions for each of us are: What does that really mean? What really is a "fair share"? Any personal contribution has an impact on the individual. How much of an impact we are willing and able to accept is a very personal decision. The goal of the fair share approach to stewardship is to match pledge levels with both our individual financial situation and with what UUFR means -- and could mean -- to each of us.

Certainly, though, a fair share contribution may have different impacts on one individual versus another. Hopefully we arrive at a contribution commensurate with both what we can afford and what this organization of our friends and families means to each of us. We give not based on what we are. We give based on what we, both individually and as an organization, want to become.
