Make Your Pledge Today
There is still time to turn in your pledge. You are an important part of our community and we hope you will make a faith-filled decision to offer your pledge today. Financial situations vary for each of us, especially during this time, but a pledge to our faith community will demonstrate that you have partnered with friends and neighbors who seek “to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life” (I Timothy 6:18).
If you have given consistently in the past and want to maintain your level of giving in the coming year, please let us know. If there is some reason you cannot pledge this year, please give us a call. Finally, if your pledge is already on its way, we are grateful.
Make your online pledge here!
