1 00:00:04,17 --> 00:00:09,05 My name is Eric Kaminetzky, and along with the Rev. Cecilia Kingman, 2 00:00:09,07 --> 00:00:13,77 we serve as ministers for the congregation in Edmonds, WA. 3 00:00:13,79 --> 00:00:22,87 The Edmonds Unitarian Church is a proud, 25+ year honor congregation of the Unitarian 4 00:00:22,89 --> 00:00:29,83 Universalist Association. That means for more than 25 years the people of this congregation 5 00:00:29,85 --> 00:00:35,33 have contributed their fair share to support the Unitarian Universalist Association 6 00:00:35,35 --> 00:00:39,67 the Pacific Northwest district and now the Pacific Western region. 7 00:00:39,69 --> 00:00:45,87 And this congregation has received fantastic service over the years in 8 00:00:45,89 --> 00:00:50,23 all realms of our ministry from the Unitarian Univeralist Association. 9 00:00:50,25 --> 00:00:55,43 If your congregation is a fair share contributor Thank you! 10 00:00:55,45 --> 00:01:02,83 We are grateful. If your congregation is not quite there yet, I hope that you will contribute 11 00:01:02,85 --> 00:01:09,65 to moving your congregation in that direction. The Unitarian Universalist Associaton 12 00:01:09,65 --> 00:01:15,27 is our national and global voice. It is a house full of resources 13 00:01:15,29 --> 00:01:21,37 for our congregations. It brings together much of the meaning that we 14 00:01:21,39 --> 00:01:28,13 can put into the world. And it serves us as individuals and as members of our congregations. 15 00:01:28,15 --> 00:01:34,43 The Annual Program Fund is that time of the year when we are asked to contribute to support 16 00:01:34,45 --> 00:01:42,57 the association of congregations that supports us. I hope you will contribute generously and move 17 00:01:42,59 --> 00:01:47,40 your congregation towards fair share status. Thank you.
