Opening Doors:
a campaign to co-create a spiritual home for generations. Click here to learn more about this project.
What should I pledge to the Opening Doors Campaign?
The Opening Doors Campaign goal is $6.2 million. These funds will be used to replenish our capital reserves, and renovate the Parish House and Grounds to address circulation, welcome, accessibility, and flexibility for intergenerational use. This chart shows how we will achieve that goal.
Thanks to the generosity of 18 visionary leaders making gifts of $100-750k, we have already raised $3.1 million. Please consider a pledge of 5-10 times your annual stewardship gift. Opening Doors pledges can be paid over 1-5 years.
All the People Stewardship.
FPL is self-funded, and stewardship is essential to our continued thriving. It covers the costs of Sunday and other worship, Religious Exploration, music, justice initiatives, pastoral care, and community outreach.
How much should I pledge to stewardship?
We are individually and collectively responsible for resourcing our spiritual home. The amount you pledge to FPL is completely up to you. You may find the UUA Giving Guidelines helpful. They suggest considering the share of your adjusted income (subtracting any unusual expenses, such as large medical expenses, care of a parent, or a large financial expense) you wish to give. The chart below offers guidelines for the share of income based on your relationship with FPL.
If you find the resulting number doesn’t work for you, consider a pledge that moves in that direction.
Generosity and the First Parish in Lincoln.
We are a self-sustaining community and our generosity makes our spiritual community possible. Our activities are funded through stewardship, rental income and draws from our Endowment funds.
Our fiscal year runs from July 1 – June 30, and we launch our annual stewardship campaign in March.
Please consider including First Parish in Lincoln in your estate planning. Bequests are an opportunity to sustain our spiritual community into the future. If you have questions or would like additional information, please email generousgiving@fplincoln.org. If you would like to make a pledge to support the current year’s operations, please email Silvia Dieckow, Parish Administrator, at silvia@fplincoln.org.
