June 15, 2025: "The Need for Trustworthy Leadership"
Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Trust is something we give another person or group. Trustworthiness means being worthy of the trust of others. Too often we don’t see this in leaders. How can we rebuild the importance of trustworthiness so that we may come to demand and expect it?

You are invited to participate in this morning’s offering by contributing as the basket passes or through the QR code - with the drop down option titled “Sunday Plate.” You may make a non-pledge gift or a contribution towards your annual pledge, or both, at that site. This fiscal year, 25% of our non-pledge Sunday offerings will be donated to Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County to fund the installation of solar panels and energy monitoring systems and mandated radon testing in Habitat homes. The non-profit organization and its volunteers work to make more affordable, energy-efficient, and safe housing available locally. See monroecountyhabitat.org for more information.
If you pay your pledge through the Sunday offering, please write “pledge” on your check, on an envelope with your contribution, or by donating at uucb.churchcenter.com/giving.
