"Pledgefest Progress"

 Our Sunday "Minute for Mission" during October featured "Pledgefest" - our opportunity to share our financial blessings and pledge our donations for 2020.

If you missed those Sundays, check under the "Givings" tab for our "Pledgefest" information.

Our focus now is collecting the pledge forms.
Please pick up your pledge form from the church office, or from Gordon Hall after Sunday service.

Please fill out the forms and return them by Nov 17. Note: For new/revised pledge forms submitted after Nov 11, these will be processed by The United Church starting in December.

We are requesting that everyone please fill in and return the Pledge form - even if your donation amount is remaining unchanged from this year - because we want to ensure that we have your correct contact information -  name/address/phone/email information. 

Thanks for your assistance.
