Stewardship for 2023

Picture
November 2022

Hi Church! 
                        
Stewardship season is officially upon us!  Pledging is the hopeful practice of investing in what God will do with us in the coming year.  Below is a short version of the stewardship appeal for those who want to cut to the chase, or a longer version on the next page for those who want more details.
 
SHORT VERSION:

  1. Would you be willing to pledge to next year’s ministry?  
Pledging helps us know what to expect and where we need to fundraise. PLEDGE HERE! Please pledge by December 10.

  1. Are you willing to raise your giving amount for 2023?
Our giving is currently $11,000 a month. We’ve had a monthly deficit this year of approx. $1,300, and we are estimating expenses will go up approx. 10% next year. For 2023, we’d like giving to be $13,530 a month.

  1. If you have automatic giving set up, could you log in now and update your monthly giving to reflect your pledge for 2023?
 
  1. Are you willing to pay per capita now so you don’t forget?
Per capita is $36.50 per adult member. Why not pay yours now so it doesn’t come out of our operating budget? 
 
Thanks for sharing life and faith together, and for all the ways you participate in the ministry of God in and through LNPC!
 
Blessings, 
Pastor Kara, Pastor Lisa
and Session: Sue G, Amy L, Jason D, Brian R, Rachel F, Andrea D.
