Annual Steward of Partnership Awards

This award is given annually to recognize those in our congregations who provide exceptional care for partnerships. UUPCC knows long-term partnerships do not automatically sustain themselves. It takes attention, time and loving care to maintain long distance connections and nurture friendship. Often this work is not publicly recognized even though it is this crucial grassroots work that keeps the partnership thriving and keeps the congregations involved.

The people recognized have kept communication going, organized worship services, kept their congregations engaged, made friends, shared stories – and their lives – with their partners in other countries. They have cooked and served and cleaned up at countless events. They have visited their partners and helped their partners come here. Many have organized major programs that have forever affected their lives and the lives of their partners.

We honor and treasure all they have done and continue to do for Unitarians and Unitarian Universalists around the world.
