FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


CONSECRATION SUNDAY REPORT

Our prayers, Our gifts and Our Service!

December 2, 2003 
 
Thanks to everyone involved in the planning and carrying out of our stewardship campaign.  But even greater thanks and praise to God.  Only he knows the power and mission possible from Grace United Methodist Church. These pledges allow our church officers and ministries plan for the upcoming year. 
  • 89 families have presented their pledged estimate of giving to our 2004 operating budget.

  • 29 of those families report their pledge is a tithe or better!
  • The new 2004 Pledge to Operating total is $241,768.

A few years ago, a budget of this amount would have been a dream.  Let us not forget that in addition to these pledges, Grace's members and visitors have pledged and given to our Capital Funds so that our church will soon be out of debt and construction for our new building can begin!

Continue to keep these campaigns in your prayers!  

If you have not turned in your Estimate of Giving Card, please do so.
