Stewardship Sunday, November 17, 2019

This year's theme: "How Is the Church Becoming a Beacon of Light? By Guiding Those in Need to a Safe Place! By Being a Church That Serves and Cares! By Sharing the Gospel of Christ!"

As you consider a pledge for 2020, please think about what the church has done for so many. Together we can continue to grow in our stewardship in the world around us, and of each other. Together united. Pledges are welcome at any time, but are encouraged to be returned on Pledge Sunday to help us in our planning for the year ahead.
