Greetings!As we turn the calendar to December, the Vestry turns our attention to next year’s budget. This is the time where we prayerfully dedicate resources to the mission of this church – to worship together, care for the community, and live the message of Jesus Christ. Your pledges and donations make the mission come to life – thank you for your generosity! This week, I’m turning this space over to Robin Silver, our faithful pledge clerk to share a little bit about what it means to pledge. Below that is an update on our current pledge numbers. Blessings, Rev. Annie |
From the Pledge Clerk It is never too late to PLEDGE! Pledging is an act of faith, an investment in the church for the next year, and an aspiration for the continued life of the church long after we are gone. It also has some guidelines: 1. Your financial pledge is confidential. The pledge clerk knows the individual amounts but only gives out overall totals to the Rector, Treasurer, and Vestry. 2. Your pledge can be changed. If life takes an unexpected turn, a note to the pledge clerk is all that is needed. 3. Payments can be done on any schedule, from weekly to one per year. Direct transfers from retirement accounts are happily accepted. 4. Pledging in November helps to plan the next year’s budget but one can pledge at any time. Any questions?
