Beloved Community,
As the year draws to a close, we are filled with gratitude for the unwavering support and generosity that emanates from this remarkable congregation. The light of God shines brightly through your generous hearts, enabling an 8% increase in pledges to help us navigate ongoing expenses and rising costs amidst inflation. Together, we are fortunate to experience extraordinary leadership, exceptional music, a dedicated children's program, a growing young adult community, and worship services that inspire and uplift. Our recent service of “Light in the Darkness” fed our souls and nourished our hearts as evidenced by the remarks from those in attendance who stated again and again… “We really needed this tonight.” Many of you participate in one of our Congregational Care Teams which stand as a beacon of light and hope - providing comfort and assistance in a multitude of ways. Your efforts reflect the strength and resilience of our community, demonstrating the power of collective care as we serve in the Kingdom of God.
As we embrace the season of wonder, waiting and hopefulness of Advent, we pause to reflect on the abundance of gifts we receive from Westminster. We stand at the threshold of completing our annual generosity campaign, and every contribution brings us closer to the finish line.
In a spirit of gratitude, we invite those who have not yet pledged to help us reach our goal. Every pledge contributes to the collective strength that defines our shared journey. Your support is the backbone of our community, and we acknowledge that we could not make this journey without you.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Generosity Committee
For those who have not paid their pledge for 2024, we invite you to complete your pledge. To meet the total budget of $3,485,000, we still need $310,000. Please remember that to add your contribution to your 2024 taxes, your pledge payment must be postmarked by December 31, 2024.
