This year’s Stewardship Campaign theme, The building may be closed, but the church is always open, implies that the church is not a building, but WE are the church. Despite the challenges we face, we are still called to do good; we are still called to be rich in good works; we are still called to be generous and to share. This is how we take hold of that which is truly life. This is the ministry to which we are called, and this is how we live out our stewardship together.
On Sunday, November 14, pledges received to date were dedicated - gifts of time, talent, and financial resources. Gifts that reflect love as Jesus loved and service as Jesus served. However, if your pledge was not included, it’s not too late, please send it as soon as possible.
Hillside’s financial goal for the 2022 budget year is $282,134.00. To date, 23 members have pledged a total of $99,748.00, approximately 35% of the goal. Twenty members have pledged their time and talent. We need everyone’s pledge to reach the goal.
The importance of your pledge cannot be overstated. The Finance Subcommittee is tasked with creating a realistic 2022 budget proposal to present to session for approval. Knowing Hillside’s anticipated income is crucial to the process. Likewise, the ministry chairs need to know the availability of time and talent in order to create realistic programs for Hillside and the community.
If you have already pledged, please accept our sincere thanks. If you have not pledged, thank you for sending it expeditiously.
