Letter from the Board 3/1/2025
Dear 2U Friends,
It was a great pleasure to see fifteen new members join our church this past month! Each person in our community brings their own unique perspectives, gifts, and joys and I am looking forward to continuing to grow with them as we welcome them, and all of the guests, members, and friends who join each week.
We are currently in the middle of our annual pledge campaign, where we ask you each to share what you will contribute to support the life of this church during the 2025-2026 year. Your generosity and support through your pledges are what allow 2U to continue to be an extraordinary community, and to grow into our shared vision together. If you have already completed your pledge, thank you! If you haven’t yet, please do take a minute to complete your pledge form online or using a paper form next time you are at the church.
We’re also preparing to see how we can support a family seeking asylum through housing at 2U. There are many questions to answer as we prepare to offer this essential support for people seeking new lives here in Chicago. I hope you can join us after service on Sunday, March 2 for a town hall to discuss the process and find a path forward to translating our values into direct action.
As we move towards spring, and through the physical transformation our church is undergoing as we add an elevator, I’m looking forward to growing together with everyone at 2U. Please take a read through the updates and opportunities in this newsletter, and find the ones that are a match for how you want to grow in March!
