We had a wonderfully faithful response at Consecration Sunday. Over 60 families/individuals filled out 2011 pledge cards. Most of those indicated a willingness to increase giving next year as an act of worship and faith in God for provision.
Today, letters and pledge cards will go out to member who were not present on Sunday. We hope to report a grand total sometime in November.
Thanks to the Diaconate for passing out the cards. As spiritual caretakers of the church, their involvement displayed that this Sunday was not about finances but about Worship. Thanks to the Finance committee for collecting and tabulating the results so far. And thanks to Rita for providing some great chicken tortilla soup.
One more point, last year we had a few youth pledge part of their income (allowances, odd jobs, etc.). This year, we also had some children make monthly commitments. Most of these are below a $1 but the amount never matters. What matters, and is a testament to Calvary and their parents, is that they understand that ultimately God provides and that God entrusts some of the work of His kingdom to us. Wonderful news!
