STEWARDSHIP MINISTRY

 

WHAT'S HAPPENING

 

The final 2011 Stewardship Celebration Sunday results are in!  Thirty-nine pledges were received totaling $188,952.  This represents an increase over last year’s Stewardship campaign and is consistent with our budget planning assumptions.  I personally thank each individual who submitted a pledge card during the campaign.  First Christian Church is blessed to have generous members who faithfully support our important ministries and programs.  We will do our very best with God’s guiding hand to carefully manage these precious resources.  Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!
