Stewardship 2015  

Let Your Voice Be Heard! It's Stewardship season.....do you know where your pledge card is?  Quite a few of them have already been returned-  and we invite YOU to make your pledge for the 2015-16 year!  If you did not receive a pledge card in the mail,  or if you have misplaced yours,  please check the bulletin board in the Clara Barton lounge,  or see any member of the finance team.  We ask that all pledge cards be returned by Stewardship Sunday,  April 19.   Then celebrate your piece of the "pie" with a real piece of pie during coffee hour!
