From the Northshore Church Board of Directors ...

A message from Board Chair Andrea Kaiser--

I want to thank everyone who participated in the congregational conversation last Sunday. Your comments are very helpful. For those of you who were unable to join us, the Board is asking that you send your comments along before next Wednesday's board meeting on May 11th. The more voices we here the better! You can send them directly to me at ccstpg@verizon.net.

This year's pledge drive is more important than ever! As we launch the search for a new minister, our ability to meet our financial obligations becomes part of the information passed on to candidates. Our collective support can help us reach our goal of $100,000 in pledges. You already know that we were unable to recruit a Pledge Drive Committee this year. The Board took on this responsibility. Some of you have already sent in your pledges, and we are so appreciative.

NOW I am asking all of us to read the pledge brochure carefully and pledge as you are able. We are trying to make individual phone calls, but it would really help if you would send the pledge cards in now, so that we can present a realistic budget to you at the annual meeting on May 22nd.

Thank you so much,

Andrea Kaiser, Board Chair
