For the last few weeks we’ve heard countless folks’ response to our Stewardship Prompt, “I love my church because…” and this Sunday we will all have the chance to respond by dedicating our pledge cards!
Your pledge is your sacred promise to support this congregation that we all love so deeply with a portion of your finances in the coming year. Those pledge dollars help us as a church family to accomplish our mission and ministry in the world. Thank you for your generosity, your support, and your creative answers to our stewardship prompt! Please remember to bring your pledge card this Sunday so that we can bless them and pray over them together!
Speaking of generosity, I cannot thank you all enough for your amazing response to the CROP Hunger Walk. I’ve always believed that generosity begets generosity, and by did we see that at the East Valley CROP Hunger Walk. Including our online donations along with the cash and checks from last Thursday our congregation was able to raise over $1000 for Church World Service! The Walk itself was also a huge success with twice as many participants as last year, including a huge contingent from FCC Scottsdale (by our unofficial records, we had more folks there than any other church!). I’m overjoyed to announce that the East Valley CROP Hunger Walk raised $11,022 by the end of the Walk…and that donations continue to keep coming in! You can still send your support by visiting our Walk Website at www.crophungerwalks.org/eastvalley/
Thanks for your generosity! Thanks for your support! I’ll see you this Sunday…and don’t forget your pledge card!
Yours in the journey, Rev. Brian
