Reaching for the Stars
The annual auction and fundraiser, "Reaching for the Stars," is a way to have fun while building community and supporting the operating budget of First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston. Money is raised from a silent auction, held via an online website, starting the 17th February and then followed with live auction and party held on the 24th February.
The creative congregants of our community donate exciting events tickets, hosted dinner parties, vacation homes, art and crafts, personal walking and biking tours, and many more. All proceeds from the auction support the operation of our church.
About First Unitarian Universalist Church
The First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston has been a beacon of liberal religion since 1914 in the most populous city in the southern United States.
We are a member congregation of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Our congregation is affiliated with other Unitarian Universalist (UU) churches around Greater Houston and the world. As people focused on creating what Dr. King called ‘the beloved community,’ we offer our skills, talents and experience to build a more loving, just and peaceful world today.
While aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good, we are diverse in faith, ethnicity, history and spirituality, as well as gender identity and sexual orientation. We encourage members to nurture their spiritual lives with intentionality and pursue the beliefs that most resonate with each of them; we encourage members to think for themselves and ask the difficult questions; we know we need not think alike to love alike
