As a long-standing member of the New York State Convention of Universalists (NYSCU), UUUtica applied for a $1,500 grant to support development of quality hybrid services. NYSCU recently notified us that the grant has been approved. We are grateful for this support and look forward to providing a progress report to NYSCU for their annual meeting at the First Universalist Church of Rochester in October. NYSCU awarded a $1,000 grant to UUUtica last winter to support the creation of a Peace Garden in Proctor Park.
