2014 Church Pledge Drive

This is the time of year when All Souls asks for your financial commitment to our Annual Pledge Drive.

We ask that you reflect on the meaning of All Souls to you and how you will — once again — support our beloved congregation.

Links for the 2014 Pledge Drive forms and other documents can be found at the end of this post (PDF format — requires Adobe Acrobat or other PDF reader software).

Please bring your completed form to church this Sunday (1 December 2013) and please email your household’s annual pledge amount to Melissa Gibson so the Pledge Committee and Finance Committee can create a 2014 budget that reflects our congregational goals and dreams.
