Generosity Ministry TeamEach Sunday, thirty percent of the offering goes to support of the Community Outreach Ministry at Unity Church and seventy percent is placed in the hands of the chosen community recipients.
In October 2007 the Generosity Ministry Team established relief collections when local and state emergencies occur. One hundred percent of the money collected in these emergency collections will go directly to targeted disaster relief. The Generosity Ministry Team oversees the distribution of the Sunday plate. Members of this team are Dick Buggs, Matt Brown, Molly Gust, Patricia Ohmans, and Rebecca Flood. The Generosity Ministry Team members want to hear form you. Please bring any concerns/opinions you may have have to their attention. To nominate a plate recipient, please complete the nomination form available on this website. Send that completed form to any team member. To nominate a recipient for a second time, please resubmit the original nomination form.

Criteria for Sunday Offering nominations submitted by congregation members:
Offering RecipientsJune 6: Freedom School
Freedom School, held each summer in the Rondo Education complex, is a free, six-week program for students in grades K-8. Freedom School provides nutritious meals, addresses the pandemic learning loss in reading and math, and connects learning through lessons in community and personal responsibility, music, field trips, and fun. This collection will buy books for the summer 2021 program. June 13: Habitat for Humanity For the past ten years Unity Church has joined other neighborhood churches, under the umbrella name of Faith Builders, to staff two weeks of volunteer labor for home construction in the St. Paul area. This offering will continue to fund this shared work, in the event that volunteers are called back in late summer. Otherwise, it will support Habitat’s At Home Fund, dedicated to assist Habitat homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments due to Covid-19. The At Home Fund is dedicated to protect homeownership through financial assistance and to increase access to affordable homeownership opportunities. June 20: Rondo Garden Rondo Garden is part of the Rondo Commemorative Plaza (RCP), which opened in July 2018, the first public place dedicated to a community destroyed by the construction of Interstate-94. RCP is a venue for contemplation, education, and reconciliation. Summer 2021 will introduce the Rondo Garden, a bold, innovative design intended to highlight the indomitable spirit of Rondo. Today’s collection will be matched by allocated grant funds. Unity’s Nancy Wagner is a volunteer RCP gardener. Download and Print
