First Unitarian Church
Gift of the Week—July 18, 2007
Rev. Daniel Budd is the minister of the First Unitarian Church in Cleveland, Ohio,
with a membership of 449. On October 14, he will conduct a worship service on
“Growing Our Faith” and take a special collection as part of Association Sunday
and the Now Is The Time Campaign.
Rev. Budd’s support of Association Sunday is also a reflection of the way he serves as minister of the First Unitarian Church. He likes the title “Association Sunday” and the idea of connecting and affirming our common bonds and purposes as an Association of Congregations. This is because he feels himself to be connected with other Unitarian Universalists, particularly his colleagues in our ministry. Rev. Budd says that every Sunday sitting in his church study, just before he goes out to the pulpit to start the service, he says a prayer for all of his colleagues who he knows have been laboring mightily—to share their souls, to prepare a sermon and service, and to inspire their congregations.
Rev. Budd’s gift is to inspire us to remember we are all connected, and to remind us of the spirit and purpose of Association Sunday.
