The Finance Committee and the Stewardship Team are asking the congregation to prayerfully consider what your offering to God will be in the coming year. Turning in a pledge card with this estimate will help the church create an accurate budget and plan appropriately for next year. If you cannot locate your card, there are extra estimate of giving cards available at the church.
Simply filling one of these out, folding it in half, and placing it in the plate during our Tithes and Offerings will help us out tremendously. We are accepting estimate cards throughout November, but we hope to have all of our estimates in before Thanksgiving. Your support is deeply appreciated.
Join us at Lake Cities United Methodist Church the next 4 weeks for a lesson series entitled Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity. Our nation is experiencing what many have described as the “American Nightmare.” Increasing consumer debt (including credit card debt, auto loans, etc), declines in savings accounts, lower income growth, and a volatile stock market are all a part of our economic insecurity. We have lived in a society that tells us “you deserve it now,” whether or not we can afford it or really even need it.
