As the calendar turns to 2023…
We anticipate the final wrap-up phase of UUCV’s long journey with our Capital Campaign. The campaign has progressed through: visioning and planning in 2017, a pledge drive in 2018, and years of completing the identified projects (delayed by COVID-19 and supply chain issues). We are nearing the finish line! We encourage long-time members and new attendees to remember or learn about our congregation’s commitment and the significant improvements accomplished by this Capital Campaign.
Let’s celebrate the Capital Campaign’s accomplishments:
December 2018 – Expanded the DLFD position to full-time
October 2019 – New roof installed over the social hall and porches
February 2020 – New replacement windows throughout most of the church
March 2020 – The impact of COVID-19 paused project work for months
October 2020 – Masonry work: repointed brick, rebuilt exterior wall & stairs
Summer 2021 – Replaced exterior doors and upgraded entrance security
– New and remodeled accessible bathrooms on both levels
