This Sunday, November 19th is Ingathering Sunday for the
Annual Stewardship Pledge Drive
and the Preschool Capital Campaign
Throughout this fall, you’ve heard from us about two efforts that are critical to the future of our parish: our Annual Stewardship Pledge Drive and our new Preschool Capital Campaign.
Commitment cards have been sent out, so check your mailbox! Fill out your card and bring it to church this Sunday or mail it back to us in the return envelope provided by November 19. (If you need an extra, they are available online to print!)
The sooner we hear from you, the sooner our ministry planning -- including our Preschool project -- can progress.
If you need more information as you reflect on our call for your generous support, we’ve collected extensive backup materials into a dedicated section of our website.
