We Need Your Pledge!


It’s budget time and the Council will be pulling together our budget for next year in the coming weeks. That is so much easier if we know how much you are pledging for 2026! Please fill out the card that you received in the mail or, if that might be misplaced, contact the Church Office and we will get one over to you. Thanks for your help and we look forward to seeing how our collective gifts will transform the world!
