ITEMS STILL NEEDED! – Let’s help our brothers & sisters WARM UP! – Do you have any coats, sweaters, or hoodies that are just sitting in your closet waiting to warm up someone? We are collecting new and gently used clean coats, sweaters and hoodies: adult, teen and children’s sizes. New sock donations welcomed too! There’s still one more day to bring in your donation – please bring your items Monday morning before 12:00 pm, when we will distribute the coats. Thank you for sharing your gift of warmth!
2025 Stewardship Update – We have received $271,148 in pledges from 72 pledging families, an average of $3,765.94 per family. Thank you for your generosity! If you would like a pledge card, ask an Usher.
If you have not yet pledged for 2025, please consider turning in your card now – We need to assign envelope numbers and get them to everyone to use them in the new year. Also, please use your NEW box of envelopes in 2025 – DO NOT use older boxes. This ensures that all of your donations will be posted to your pledge. Envelope boxes are on the “ship table” in the Cathedral.
