Stewardship 2015
| |
Annual Pledge
The 2015 Stewardship Campaign is well underway. Pledge packets were mailed the week of Oct. 20. As of Tuesday, Nov. 11, we have received pledges from ten households: $34,300, 34% of our $100,000 goal, has been pledged to date. We are coming to the end of our campaign this Sunday, Nov. 16, and we hope to receive as many pledges as possible by that date. We urge all members and friends to return their pledge cards as soon as possible, either by mail or by placing your pledge card in the collection plate this Sunday. If you have already returned your pledge card, we thank you. If you have not done so yet, we ask you seriously and prayerfully to consider how you can support the mission of the parish. If you have any questions about stewardship, please speak with a member of the vestry.

Giving Tree

Gifts for Those in Need
Each year we are given the names of local families who need a little extra help at Christmas. Please feel free to take a tag or two off the Giving Tree on either Sunday, Nov. 30 or Dec. 7. PLEASE SIGN the clip board next to the tree when removing a tag.
Purchase the items listed on the tag and bring the gifts back to the church by Dec. 14. Please DO NOT wrap the presents. You can either put them in a gift bag or leave them in the shopping bag. We will provide the parents with wrapping paper when they pick up the gifts. If you have questions, contact Maureen Tobin.
