We give thanks to all who have made a financial pledge to support our life and ministry together in 2026! As of this writing, we have received 68 pledges, close to 70% of which remained the same as last year and over 30% representing an increase over last year. We are grateful for everyone’s generosity and faithfulness. If someone would like to pledge and has’nt yet, it’s not too late. Please prayerfully consider your commitment because every gift counts and makes a difference. We will be presenting a budget in the coming weeks as well as announcing the name with the most votes for the mother Osprey who returns to the nest in front of our sanctuary.
We thank all the people who gave meaningful stewardship testimonies this past month, Lisa Forness, Paul Sweetser, and Jeanne Huseby. Each person gave us much to think about and offered a great witness. We also are grateful to Elena Ghioto for making the wonderful visual art display for our sanctuary, the “nest” as well as the mother Osprey. We give thanks to Connie Swedlund for making the tasty “stick treats” too. A special thank you to all the members and friends of the Stewardship and Finance Committee for their work on this campaign and the delicious celebration luncheon after worship on October 26th. The members of the Committee are Connie Swedlund, Penny Bach, Paula Philips, Lisa Forness, Pam Cartier, and Wendy Perry. The committee is now actively working on building a budget for our life and ministry together in the coming year!
