Click here to read this week's:  Weekend Reminder - November 8, 2024

Commitment Weekend, November 9-10

Please return your Estimate of Giving for 2025 during the Saturday or Sunday Worship Service. As we recently heard in a Temple Talk, we recently celebrated the time and talents contributed by 180 members of our congregation and we’re now into the time of year when we ask those of us with treasure to share to prayerful consider completing an Estimate of Giving for 2025. Every one of our members and households should have received a letter with an Estimate of Giving Card in the past few days. Commitment Weekend is November 9-10, and all will be invited to bring their cards to the front of the church as part of our service. Celebration Sunday will be November 17. Every Estimate we receive helps your Budget Committee and Council develop the budget recommendations that are presented for approval at our Annual Meeting in January. We encourage everyone who can to provide an estimate, including our many members who give electronically.
Thanks in advance from your Stewardship Committee: John Oppenlander, Carla Henderson, Mary Hall, Milenda Powers, Pr. Garrett Struessel
