STEWARDSHIP BOARD

SHARING GOD’S ABUNDANCE

The Stewardship Board thanks the many helping hands for this year’s campaign. We started the campaign earlier than ever, January 8 and finished with a celebratory luncheon January 29. We had many participants who brought their messages to the 4 services as liturgists or mission stewards. Mark Wiseman was the coordinator before each service and the sermon was prepared by Lee DeBell.

The Stewardship Board prepared letters prior to each service and sent reminders to pledge to those who had not done so yet. With the help of some council members we  called some folks about pledging for this year. We would appreciate your input on how to encourage a larger response during the stewardship weeks and on ways to increase the participation .

To date we have received 144 pledges.
The funds are allocated as follows:

   General Fund             $216,040.00
