We are not a ‘Denomination’
In exploring our web site, you may have noticed we don’t use the word “denomination” because, truth is, we’re not a denomination. Each Unitarian Universalist congregation is autonomous. How it worships, works, serves, grows, and is financed is independent of any other UU congregation. That’s part of the beauty of diversity. Our autonomy means no outside authority can make us do anything. No, we are not a denomination. Rather, we are an association of 1,000+ independent congregations.
We are self supporting
Only those of us who feel Red River UU is our spiritual home are the people who hold the responsibility for assuring we have the financial resources to be the vibrant group we are. We pause weekly and ask people to contribute. Any cash that we receive which is not designated to pay a pledge, is split between the two charities we support: Texoma Family Shelter and Texoma Earth Day Festival.
We take seriously the freedom to give and are not shy about inviting others to join in the spirit of giving –
* Volunteer: give of your time and energy.
* Donate: make a onetime donation of any amount of money.
* Pledge: sign a pledge to the congregation which helps leaders plan the budget for the year. We do hold an annual Stewardship Campaign each spring but anyone may pledge at any time.
