This year we are inviting the congregation to give both locally and to the larger world community— and to give MONEY, ITEMS, and TIME. Here are our focus areas for Advent/Christmas this year. Click the link to see how you can help.
During the week of November 6, you will receive a letter with your estimate of giving card and a participation survey letting us know how you want to share your time and gifts through our congregation. We will ask you to prayerfully fill them out and return them to church. Those worshipping in person will bring them to church that next Sunday, November 12, and place them in the offering plate. On that Sunday, as a way to celebrate our giving and our life together, Paul Sapyta will be serving soup and every person may eat their soup (and bread) in Lakeview Social Hall or leave with a bowl of soup (in a compostable container) to eat at home. For those worshipping online, you are invited to drive by the church on the 12th between 11:15am and noon to drop off your estimate of giving card and participation survey and get your soup. Pastor Jeanine will personally greet each car and will be so happy to see you. You are also welcome to mail your estimate of giving card and participation survey, fill them out online, or bring them to the office during the week.
Please be prayerfully thinking of what this congregation means to you and others, and what God is leading you to give financially in the coming year. Be blessed… and be a blessing! https://onrealm.org/FirstUMCMN/AddPledge/2024pledgedgiving
