ANNUAL PLEDGE CAMPAIGN – Begins November 2023
Annual pledges enable the Business Team to predict the majority of our income as we prepare the church budget. The proposed budget for 2024 is similar to the past two years. Expenses have been pared and various grants and endowment allocations have helped keep the church stable, but we typically face another challenging year. YOUR DEPENDABLE ANNUAL PLEDGE IS APPRECIATED.
