Raising $30,000 may sound like a difficult task , but let’s take a

look at how we can do this…

Page 16: Flourish in Faith   2013

line item.

Page 17: Flourish in Faith   2013

• The other $24,000 is doable if we all make a commitment

to achieve this goal

Can we agree to forgo:-One less coffee and a bagel a week?-One bag of cookies?-One less waffle cone at Hoffman’s?-One less take out fast food lunch????

Page 20: Flourish in Faith   2013

SECOND, if each of our congregation’s households would make a commitment to raise their pledge by a minimum of $5.00 a week we could achieve our goal (for a family of 4 that is pennies a day!!!)

Isn't what our wonderful church means to each of us worth our making this pledge to help seed for the future and help our church to thrive ??????
