Stewardship 2017: Your support is needed             
Help us reach our goal

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. We write today to update you on Covenant's 2017 stewardship campaign.
 
The good news is that we have received 388 pledges totaling $1,767,500. This includes 41 new pledging households and 139 households that increased their pledges from 2016 for a total increase of $161,870. Thank you to all!
 
The challenging news is that we are $1,032,500 short of our pledge goal of $2,800,000. We have received pledges from only 32 percent of the 1,213 households in our congregation.
 
If all who pledged in 2016 made the same commitments for 2017, we would reach our goal. If those pledges increase, we would exceed our goal -- and make an even greater impact in the year ahead.

If you have not pledged, please click here to do so today. Thank you for your generosity in supporting the ministries and mission of Covenant.
