Legacy Giving Campaign

Thank you for your generous giving to the Operating Fund of our church. The Operating Fund is the most important fund of all. It pays staff salaries for the discipleship ministries with children, youth, and adults. It pays for music, worship, and administrative support. It pays for the upkeep of our beautiful buildings and grounds and utilities. It pays for our base-level missions and ministries beyond the walls of our church. Everything we do as a church depends on a balanced and healthy Operating Fund.

Based on the budget that our committees have submitted to our church Treasurer, our church needs us altogether to give about $50,000 more in 2024. That increase will help pay our bills, continue the excellent ministries we now do, and give our staff cost of living increases (not given last year). Please pray about what you can do to help meet the need.

Completing the enclosed Estimate of Giving Card is how you join in to support the mission of our church next year. As always, your Estimate of Giving remains confidential; only the Financial Secretary sees the details of your pledge.

Please return your card on or before Consecration Sunday, November 12, 2023. You can drop it in the offering plate, mail it to the church office, or submit it on the church website or smartphone app. With every card that is returned, we will update the giving chart in the narthex at church so that you can see our giving grow toward the goal.

The Bible teaches that generous giving of our time, our talent, and our treasure is a legacy of grace for generations to come. Every day, your giving and volunteering makes disciples, raises up the next generation of leaders, and changes the world. God has put a holy hand on us to do something really special. Your giving makes life-changing differences happen!

Thank you for all that you do to make our church great!
