Support our Church
From the Canvass Committee
“If you do what you say, then you ain’t bragging!” Muhammad Ali
We said that we would have a year without a minister.
We said that we would all participate.
We said that we would raise enough money to support a settled minister.
Can we do it? YES WE CAN!
The 2010 canvass is going to be early this year, in February and March 2010, so that we can make sure that we have enough money in the budget to support a minister. In preparation you are invited to the very first canvass organizational meeting on October 4th after church.
Lunch will be provided. There are a myriad of tasks that need teams of volunteers attached to them-plan and execute the canvass dinner, handle communication and promotional materials, assemble pledge packets and everyone’s favorite, canvasser. We’re planning an old-fashion, face-to-face every friend and member canvass IF we have enough volunteers.
So please come and support this extremely important project.
We hope to see you there! Debbie and Chris Soniat

Reminder: We are Currently in Church Fiscal Year 2009
In 2006 the congregation voted to change the church's fiscal year for future years to end on June 30 each year. Thus, the 2009 fiscal year began July 1, 2008, and ends June 30, 2009. And so on. Our fiscal year, canvass year, and pledge year are all the same.
