Moment for Stewardship: Pledge Dedication Sunday
W
e are thankful this week for the bounty of generosity through which the people of Swarthmore Presbyterian Church support the work that God has called us to do in this time and place. Sunday, November 12, was a joyful day as we dedicated the pledges received thus far in our 2024 stewardship campaign, all of which will support our worship life, Christian formation, care of buildings and grounds, and love of neighbors within and far beyond our walls. For every pledge and person behind it, we are grateful.
If you have not yet made your pledge, please take a few minutes in the coming days, as you think about the things for which you are most thankful, to make your personal financial commitment to the work of Swarthmore Presbyterian Church in 2024, helping us to close the gap between what we have received thus far and what we need to accomplish in our ministry next year. No amount is too small or too large. For more information on what it costs to run this church, read this letter from SPC’s Treasurer and Director of Business Administration. View the Moment for Stewardship videos created by SPC members and staff to share in their own words and voices, the many reasons and feelings behind the call to give generously.
