Stewardship Drive Reminder to get your Stewardship Pledge in before January 17, 2020 (earlier is even better)

Stewardship Season 2020 – We're almost there but we need your Help! Our 2020 Stewardship campaign continues through Jan 17, 2020 and our pledged giving amount currently stands at $289,463. That means we have exceeded last year’s pledged amount   and are 95% of the way toward our goal of $300,000! Whether you’ve pledged in the past or have never pledged before, we invite you to be a part of this year’s campaign. No pledged amount is too big or too small because every pledge moves us one step closer to our goal. Pledge cards can be found outside the Sanctuary and can be returned in the offering plate or via mail to the church office.  And to those of you who have already pledged - we truly THANK YOU!

Help with Fellowship Hour...  Volunteers are needed for coffee hour 11:00 am – 11:30 am on Sundays.  Please see signup sheet in Fellowship Hall (by window where coffee is set out).
