With Gratitude in Our Hearts:
2020 Annual Giving Campaign
This past Sunday, we celebrated our Ingathering for the 2020 Annual Giving Campaign. We now hope to finalize the stewardship season for Christ Church Cathedral before the end of 2019, as we prepare our budget for 2020. As you know, we have an ambitious goal of increasing our pledge amount by 5%. To date, the congregational response has been overwhelmingly positive.
If you have sent in your pledge commitment, thank you. If you have not yet done so, and wish to support the church next year, please contact Brenda Stanton by email,
bstanton@christchurchcathedralmobile.org, or telephone, 251.438.1822. Pledge cards are in your pew.
We ask that you verify your pledge status by the close of business Monday, December 16, as we will begin our calls on Tuesday. Thank you for your attention and prayerful consideration.
