"We Are Family" Pledge Drive
|
The 2019 pledge drive kicked off during services on February 17 to the music "We Are Family." The next three Sundays will feature one member at each service telling their own story about what our church means to them. Speaker list is below.
Early Bird prizes for a month's use of an up-close parking space are being drawn on March 3rd (6 winners), March 10th (4 winners) and March 17th (2 winners). Deadline for drawings is the Friday before. Return your pledge card by Friday, March 15th to be included in the third and last drawing. Bring or mail your pledge card to church: 3975 Fruitville Rd., Sarasota 34232. On Sunday, March 17th, thanks to 35 volunteer bakers, the Stewardship Committee will host a courtyard Pastry Party for everyone between services 11 a.m.-11:30 a.m.. At our Lakewood Ranch location, pastries will follow the service. The pledge mailing to members arrived at homes Feb. 19-20. Included is a brochure Seven Ways to Give and the 2019 Pledge Card. Thank you to our mailing volunteers Jean Wieloch, Anna Thorson, Caroline Haase, Jane Shannon and Paul Lewis. Duplicate pledge materials are available in the courtyard on Sunday or in the church office.
