All of Us Stewardship Campaign
Throughout January
Last Monday morning, Vice Moderator Deborah Eckland kicked off the All of Us Stewardship Campaign and invited each of us to discern our financial commitments to Meetinghouse Church in the 2023 calendar year.
We're so excited to say that for each person who signs up for a monthly recurring gift of $25 or more, an anonymous donor will match it with a gift of $500, up to a total of $5,000!
Watch for more on Friday as Jeff Lindsay focuses us on discernment. And keep in mind that the deadline to submit a pledge is January 29th.
