Special Collection for the Minister's Discretionary Fund
Sunday, November 18
As the weather gets colder and heating bills rise, our pastors encounter more folks in need of both spiritual and financial support. On Thanksgiving Sunday, November 18, as we consciously name some of the things we are grateful for, we will have a special collection for our Minister’s Discretionary Fund. The Minister’s Discretionary Fund is shared by both pastors to answer immediate financial needs from our members and neighbors.
Please give generously to this collection on our Thanksgiving Sunday. Help us help someone who may be in need this winter. Bring or mail checks to support for this fund to First Church with Minister's Discretionary Fund in the memo line.
