Information About Your Sunday Offering
The offerings collected each Sunday help us to live into our values within this congregation and in supporting ​many good works beyond our walls by highlighting a community partner organization each month to share with the Ajashki Project.
​
Ajashki is a land-based program hosted by the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa in collaboration with Indigenous communities in the city and region. Rooted in the recognition that FirstU’s campus is on unceded Algonquin Anishinaabeg land, the program seeks to build relationships, practical skills, and cultural understanding through collaborative gardening, land relations, and environmental stewardship.​

Our Annual Pledge Campaign
What is pledging all about? Pledging is your commitment to contribute financially over and only during the indicated fiscal year.
Why is it so important? Since pledges historically represent ~ 70% of our revenue, it is a critical part of the budgeting process. The budget is created using the pledge forecasted revenue which then is presented to the congregation for member approval at the Fall Congregational Meeting.
Without your pledge commitment, we cannot plan for FirstU’s financial commitments, sustainability, and programming for the coming year.
