You should have received the Stewardship Letter from Lucy Dorenfeld of the Operations Committee. If not, please check your mail or contact the church office.

We don’t often think of our mission and ministry in such grand terms – “changing lives”. But ultimately, that IS the goal. God changes us, we change one another and collectively, we change our community and our world.

Our individual efforts may seem small, but they are never in isolation. Our gifts are cumulative and exponential. Over time, we can never be sure of our specific impact; but if we had never contributed, never given of ourselves, never shared another’s burdens, the world would be poorer for it.

Please plan to share your pledge intentions with the church by December 15.

Changing lives together,

Pastor Dale
