As we have come to the close of another fiscal year (October 31st) and will come very soon to the close of this calendar year on December 31st, let’s rekindle our efforts and rejuvenate our energies to finish strong. The needs remain great at New Pilgrim: rising utility costs, our ongoing mortgage and our financial campaigns to Raise the Roof and for Kingdom Builder. Our earmarked/designated giving efforts have at times shifted funds away from our operational funding, and thereby have increased the need to remember our faithful commitment to bringing our Lord’s tithe (… the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32) and our freewill offerings. “Each person should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). I pray that the Lord’s faithfulness to blessing you will prompt you to honor his faithfulness, as you continue to cheerfully share with New Pilgrim.
Let’s finish strong by sharing in tithes and offerings to
support the work of the ministries at New Pilgrim. Doing so will help us meet our operational needs and to ably meet the monthly $19,650.00 mortgage. Consider giving more to New Pilgrim, even as we pledge to steward your gifts to do more with less. In doing this you will join us in ensuring that New Pilgrim will be stable, secure and striving: lifting as we climb. Join with us from this Sunday until this year shall give way to 2020 — join us in finishing strong!
