At this time of year we are faced with many requests to give, and mostly to good causes. We thought it would be helpful to provide you with all of the Barn invitations at one time so that you know what is coming and can be prayerful stewards of your resources.
We are inviting you to let us know what you plan to give in 2026, to bless the members of our church with donations for the deacons to use for grocery gift cards, and finally to bless the most vulnerable among us with Christmas gifts for children in care. The season of giving will begin October 28 and wrap up on December 15, 2025.
Plan Your Giving for 2026
As we look to plan the budget for 2026, we need your help to know what we can plan to to steward well in 2026. We ask that you tell us what you plan to give. This information is held in strict confidence known only to a couple of finance team members. Only the aggregate is discussed at finance meetings.
We would like this information by November 9 so we can have a balanced budget to present to the Session.
Donate to Grocery Cards
Each year the Deacons collect money to use in the purchase of grocery cards in order to bless some of the families within our church.
Buy Gifts for Local Children and Families
Each year, we sponsor a "Giving Tree" with gift requests gathered from local social workers in our partnership with Covenant to Care for Children.
Gifts will be due by December 14, 2025 so that we can get them to the various social workers before Christmas.
Please attach the code to your unwrapped gift in gift bag and bring to church on or before December 14, 2025. Thanks!
