Stewardship: It's Pledge Card Time!  

We are setting sail into 2024, and we need your partnership! Don’t forget to turn in an estimate of giving card for this upcoming year.  Pledges and estimates are important in enabling us to financially plan for the upcoming year. If you need to amend or change your estimate at any time, that is totally okay. Pledges are an estimate, not a binding contract. We appreciate your support and your partnership.  Update: We are over a third of the way to our annual goal! Let's keep it going!

Tanzania-Thank You for Your Donations

There's only a couple of weeks left to make a donation to the "For Tanzania" project! We are very excited to have met our congregational goal of donating $500 to help pay UMC pastors in Tanzania a living wage! A big "Thank you" to the United Women in Faith (UMW) for their generous donation to help us reach our goal. Thus far, our congregation has donated over $750 to the cause. Great work! You can give by marking a note with a gift in the offering plate on Sunday, or by donating directly to the campaign by visiting:  https://www.gnjumc.org/fortanzania/.
