Mission & Service Giving Update

Thank you for giving so generously for Mission & Service in 2015! The congregational giving transfer deadline was January 29, 2016—we thank you for transferring your 2015 gifts in time. The final report on 2015 Mission & Service giving will be shared with pastoral charges and posted online at the end of February.

A new Mission & Service congregational giving report/transfer form will be launched in 2016. It allows for multipoint charges to report on giving at the congregational level. The new form includes a message of thanks for your pastoral charge, a summary of giving for the year, and a blank transfer form.

Share the Love

Share your love by sharing your generosity with others. A Gift with Vision is meaningful gift-giving that changes the world!
