Stewardship Committee

Fall 2017 Call to Stewardship

Together we are growing in faith and stewardship at First Congregational Church. We see signs of progress in engagement, giving, and service. Click here for an update on FCC’s financial picture. (Week 1)  The Stewardship Committee aims to build on the progress in the Fall 2017 program, Journey to Generosity: The Way of Jesus.

From October 1 through October 29, each church service will feature a theme [click to see Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5] and a fellow member speaking on faith and generosity. You are invited to the Pledge Sunday Luncheon in the DeWolf Room after church on October 29. Please join us!

Pledged giving is an essential part of FCC’s budget. It is part of what enables this congregation to call a full-time minister as our spiritual leader and to improve the sustainability of the church and its mission. Our goal for 2018 is a 10% increase in the pledge total. For 2017, 59 members pledged $130,762 (excluding dues).

Please indicate your 2018 financial pledge using this commitment card. Please also convey gifts of time and talent with this card. These commitments can be made:

• In person at church on October 29

‘Bringing Wholeness’

We are called to love as Jesus did. It is generosity, says the United Church of Christ, that can shorten the journey toward loving our neighbors and make it more meaningful: “To accept the command of Jesus to engage in bringing wholeness to a fragmented world is to be on a mission that matters.”

Please join us on this journey to generosity. Thank you!
