Offering Envelopes

08 Jan

For those of you who use them, 2016 Offering Envelopes have arrived and are in the church lobby for pick up. Please note the following changes & clarifications on the envelopes:

The name of the “Unified Budget” fund has changed to “General Fund”
The “Capital Campaign” fund has been added & is to be used for contributions to the upcoming building renovation project.
The “Building Maintenance” fund is not new but has been confused with the “Capital Campaign” fund.Contributions to “Building Maintenance” are used for ongoing maintenance and repair of our current building. It is part of our ongoing church operations and many of you pledged to it during last fall’s stewardship campaign.

These same changes have been made on My Pender Page for those of you who give online. Please contact the church office by clicking on this link if you have any questions.

Today’s Bible Verse ~ Amos 5:14-15

08 Jan

Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. Hate evil, love good; maintain justice in the courts. Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on the remnant of Joseph.
