As you may be aware, LHPC has contracted with the Dallas Police Department to provide an officer on Sundays to help ensure the safety of those attending church in the morning. While we maintain a wonderful working relationship with the Northeast station, this is a service we must pay for. The cost is not insignificant, but Session believes it is a worthwhile use of money to ensure those who worship with us can do so more safely.
You may also be aware that during the pandemic, many churches’ revenues have declined, LHPC’s included. Because of this, many things Session wishes to pay for are not always in the budget. The request we have is to consider making a gift beyond your regular giving to a special offering that will allow us to continue to pay for the presence of DPD on Sunday mornings. We are hoping to raise an additional $3,500, which per household would equate to an extra $35.
If you would like to contribute the suggested amount or any amount you are comfortable with, you may do so in two ways: In the online giving portal, you may designate funds to “Other” and list “Security.” By check, you may write “Security” in the memo line.
If you have any questions about this, please reach out to Perryn or any member of Session.
