Dear Grace Covenant Community, 
I have exciting news to share! Grace Covenant has received an early Christmas present. And there is a beautiful way for us to say thank you. 

Ten generous donors have come together to create a $50,000 matching challenge for our 2020 Life Abundant Stewardship Campaign. They are challenging GCPC to raise a matching $50,000 by January 15, 2020. That will get us $100,000 closer to our 2020 goal—what an amazing opportunity for us to take this next huge step as a faith community!

Our 2020 goal is lofty and, frankly, pretty unique. Not many churches have the energy and the engagement that GCPC does. Together we are trying to create a more sustainable, transparent, and impactful way to be the church that God is calling us to be and that the larger community needs us to be. 

By fully funding our stewardship revenue with pledged dollars we strengthen our partnerships, our ministries, our relationships, and our future. Everything about who GCPC is and is becoming will be enhanced when we work together!
We are on track to raise more money in a stewardship campaign than GCPC has ever raised. We truly need EVERYBODY to do their part . Some of you still need to turn in your pledge. Some of you may be able to increase a pledge you have already made. Every single penny you share goes directly to ministry! 

Let’s meet this exciting challenge together, Grace Covenant! We are a “can-do” congregation and I believe we are going to get this done. The Spirit is moving here and all of you are responding in ways that continue to inspire me.

If you have already pledged, you can complete a pledge increase card and put it in the plate or return to the church office. You can also access the pledge increase card online here :  http://bit.ly/GCPC2020increase. If you haven't pledged yet, you can fill out the online pledge card here :  http://bit.ly/GCPC2020pledge You can also email Natalie at  nweaver@gcpcusa.org  with your increase information.

I am especially grateful to our 10 generous donors who have given us another wonderful example of abundance to celebrate this Christmas season!
Peace,
