Annual Stewardship Campaign

Each year we ask the members and friends of Grand River Unitarian Congregation to think about what GRU has meant to them and how they can help us do more in the future. We've come a long way in the past years, and we have lots of plans for the future. Pledging helps us plan our goals with a good idea of the resources we will have in the coming year. For more information, see our collection of Stewardship 101 articles.

To these ends we ask you to fill out a Pledge form.  Pre-authorized donation forms are available at GRU as well.

Stewardship Campaign 2026: What’s Next?

Our Stewardship Campaign for 2026 begins this Sunday, April 5.  This is the time when we ask members and friends to make a pledge of financial support to GRU for the coming year. 

Please have a look at our exciting Stewardship Brochure.  Copies will be handed out at our upcoming services. The brochure outlines how GRU spends its money, where it comes from, and our financial needs to meet budgeted expenditures in 2026.

If you have not made a pledge to GRU for 2026, we invite you to do so during our stewardship campaign. Note that a pledge is a statement of intention. It is not a legal commitment and can be cancelled at any time. If you have already made a pledge for 2026, we thank you!

On Sunday, April 5, members of the Stewardship team will be available after the service to answer any questions you might have.  If you stop by to say hello, you will receive a Timbit to enjoy with your coffee or tea.  Pledge forms will be at hand and you can turn one in right away if you like.

From the Stewardship Team,
