What is 1st Sunday Plate Collection?
Every first Sunday of the month, a nominated charity receives a collection. Twice a year during the Congregational Meetings, members nominate charities for these First Sunday collections. If you are a UUFCC member and have a charity you’d like to nominate, please keep an eye out for the Annual or Midyear packet, or email Peg Dobrinska for information. Both local and international charities can be nominated.
