Dear
Member,
In
the mail this week you will receive the pledge packet for the
2012 pledge campaign. This year we are also emailing the
packets, since last year many members expressed a preference
for email.
The
theme of the campaign is Step Up For a New Day.
As you'll read in the pledge packet, we are asking members to
Step Up to help eliminate our deficit and provide our new
settled minister a church with solid financial footing.
We
would like to draw your attention to an important and exciting
part of this year's campaign. A group of donors has pledged an
additional $50,000 that will match
new or increased pledges over last year that are made
prior to the end of this December. In this way we are
hoping people Step Up and increase their giving over last
year, doing so in a timely manner that allows us to accurately
budget the church for 2012.
To
pledge, you can fill out and mail in either the response card
from the link above, or the personalized one in the packet
that was sent to you via regular mail.
To
make things even easier, you can email your pledge to our
special email address, pledges@uccdarien.org,
by simply replying to this message and providing the
appropriate information. Pledges sent in this way are
completely confidential, as are the mailed-in cards.
Many
thanks for your continued support,
The 2012 Pledge Committee
