Have you heard about the Emerson Society?

Individuals who have included the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City in their will or estate plans are inducted into the Emerson Society. A wood and brass plaque on the south wall of the Chapel lists the names of Emerson Society members.

If you would like more information about how to include the Church in your will or estate plans, Endowment Committee members are available to meet with you to discuss several different options for making bequests.

The Endowment Committee wants to know if you have already provided for giving to the Church in your will or estate plans but have not notified the Church. It is important to let the Endowment Committee know your intentions – not only to honor you (if you wish), but to ensure your wishes are respected.

For either purpose, contact us at or pick up a request form at the Congregational Life table in Eliot Hall after church services.
