PLEDGE CARD |
What is a pledge? A pledge is an estimate of how much you plan to give to West Church in a given year. It is not a binding contract. Circumstances can change-and pledges may be revised up or down depending on your situation. |
How much should I pledge? Just as everyone has a different financial situation, the amount of your pledge is an individual decision and will be unique and reflect your own life situation and sense of commitment to the church. Pledges of any amount are welcome and necessary for our ministries. |
Dear Members and Friends of West Congregational Church, Today we are writing on behalf of the stewardship committee, as this is the time of the year when we each have the opportunity to pledge our level of support of time, treasure and talent to the church for the coming year. Your tithes and offerings have an impact for our church, for our community, and for the work of the kingdom of God. Through your gifts we sustain, grow, and seek to grow new programs in worship, community and missions. Hebrews 13:16 says "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." The amount of time, treasure and talent you choose to share is something you should prayerfully consider. We have been blessed by the arrival of our new half-time Pastor Derek Waldron in the past year and it is time to think about West Church in the next phase. A link to the pledge card for 2025 is also on this website. We ask that you print the card and return it to the church as soon as possible by mail or place it in the offering plate. Pledging is not a requirement, but it is a helpful tool to encourage each of us to be delibertate and disciplined in our giving. It is also helpful to the leadership of the church as we plan for the coming year, both financially and project-wise. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this letter and to prayerfully consider committing to the future of our congregation. Sincerely, The Stewardship Committe Brian Wheeler, Chairman
