Stewardship

It has been five weeks since Commitment Sunday.  We have now received 70 pledges and 40 of those pledges met the "300 Challenge" by increasing the pledge by at least $300.  We are happy to report that nine giving units who had previously not committed to a pledge took the leap this year and pledged their financial support for Zion. We are sad to report that one family will be moving and will not be part of the Zion family next year.
If you are one of the twenty-seven 2013 pledgers who have not yet pledged for 2014, please consider letting us know your intent.  The 2014 budget is being prepared and as we all know it is never good to “assume.”  It is hard to create a responsible budget when we assume. We will be voting on the 2014 budget at the Special Congregational Meeting on Sunday, December 8.
Pledge cards can be found in the narthex of the church.  Completed cards can be placed in the offering plate or mailed to the church office.
