Let Your Light Shine
2024 Pledge Campaign
As progressive Christians, we need to let our light shine now more than ever.
In this time when the clouds of cynicism and fear threaten to overshadow us, we are called to be light-bearers of hope and possibility, showing the world how a just and generous community of Christians can be a blessing for all people.
Our mission is vital and our congregation is strong. We invite you to give with a spirit of joy so that First Churches can continue to shine in this world on behalf of God and all of God’s people.
Your support enables us all to provide:
-
Circles of Care for refugees, scholarships for Haiti, food for WNNS, and support to any in need
-
Inspiring sermons, stirring music, faith formation for our children, communion, and occasions for fellowship
-
Opportunities for centering prayer, Bible study, and spiritual growth
-
Advocacy for peace and justice, both locally and overseas
-
A meetinghouse where like-minded people of all faiths can gather to promote good work in this world
So how much should I give?
We are hoping to raise $235,000. This will afford us a future where we balance our budget, pay our staff fairly, keep the meetinghouse in good working order, and invest in what we need to keep our worship and ministries strong.
We trust that you will be as generous as you can, with God’s guidance and within your own circumstances. If you have never pledged, we hope that you will join us. If you already pledge, we hope you can continue at your current level of giving, or even increase your giving to keep our ministry strong. Alternately, if finances are stressful right now, know that we have a Pastor’s Fund to lend a hand.
