This year, send Christmas cards inspired by the beautiful angel banner artwork created by Bob Garrett! Bob is a former high school art teacher who has created beautiful artwork for the sanctuary and Sunday School rooms. Each Advent for the past 30 years we have hung his amazing angels in the sanctuary to help celebrate the glory of the Christmas season.
Cards come in packs of 8, four of each design with envelopes, and should be ordered by November 17th to enable delivery on November 24th. Suggested donation is $10 per pack. All proceeds benefit the church's ministries.
"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21
Often stewardship is mistaken as synonymous with fundraising in the church, but it is so much more than that. It encompasses the holistic care for the church as an organization, the people who are part of the church community, and the missions that reach beyond the walls of the physical building.
We encourage all church members and friends to make an annual pledge as a part of our stewardship program each fall. This allows us to more accurately set and hold to an annual budget, which we approve as a congregation each January. To make a pledge, fill out a pledge card and drop it in the offering plate or send by mail. Our annual Stewardship campaign is held each fall and ends on Stewardship Sunday in November.
Contributions may be made weekly during the service or by mailing a check OR using your bank's bill pay:
