Greeting Beloved! As we continue our Stewardship Campaign - "Defying Gravity" by Tom Berlin, I wanted to check in with all of you. You will begin to receive your pledge cards and other information in the mail soon. We are asking that you pray about your commitment and send them in during the first 2 weeks of November. This year we are asking that your pledge commitment be "unrestricted". We will be having special campaigns next year for building and capital. However, as we commit to keeping "nothing sacred except the mission", we are asking that pledges be on an unrestricted basis. This allows our ministry teams and our Board to make decisions based on current circumstances and gives us the budget and flexibility to meet needs as they arise. If you wish to give to restricted accounts, please use a "secone mile" opportunity to do so throughout the year. As you return your pledge cards, please tell us the amount of your Pledge only, not your planned restricted giving. This year - we can even fill out our pledge forms online! Simply go to https://belmontheightsumc.org/2021-pledge to put your information in. Save the stamp and make your pledge today! Let us together continue to defy gravity with our prayers, our presence, our gifts, and our service. Many blessings, Pastor Lisa
