PLEDGE CARD REMINDER:We want to encourage you to turn in a pledge card for 2022. Even if you are not sure how much you can give, please let us know that you are praying on how you can give. Knowing the commitments for the year ahead helps us to plan the programs and ministry, like our food pantry, lunches, and important improvements that we do as a church. If you need a pledge card, there will be extras in the Narthex. The entire church leadership thanks you for your generosity! |
