Giving

“I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."
Matthew 25:35-40

 We give because we follow in the footsteps of Jesus and believe his words.

Building on Faith - Pledge Update

Pledge Sunday, February 22nd, was the kickoff for our Building On Faith Campaign. We are now wrapping up the campaign to finalize this year’s budget and are currently at 94% to our goal. If you still want to submit a pledge for this year, please contact our Bookkeeper or Stewardship Chair, Dave Williams, as soon as possible! Pledging helps us to estimate what our income will be during the year.

Please take another look at our Building on Faith brochure for a reminder of how important your support is.
