End-Of-Year Appeal
One aspect of our life together that amazes me is our annual practice of end-of-year giving. I am already inspired by our congregation’s generosity through each household’s annual pledge. The practice of end-of-year giving is over and above that generosity, which is simply amazing.
As we shared in the State of the Church, we have a realistic opportunity to end this year with no deficit if we have strong contributions this December. This is an incredible testament to our shared commitment to the ministry of our community.
I am confident in our ministries and their future because of the passion we have witnessed in the congregation’s enthusiasm for our visioning process. Together we wrote 342 visioning ‘clouds’, 102 vision and chili connoisseurs participated in the Stirring the Pot discussion, and over 100 people were interviewed. This is a congregation that cares about its impact for years to come!
By participating in end-of-year giving, you are ensuring that we can close this year with confidence and start next year with excitement. Give by cash, check, stock, or qualified charitable distribution today toward this End-of-Year Appeal.
