“Estimate of Giving” cards were mailed to the congregation on October 9. If you do not receive one by October 31, please pick one up in the Church Office on Sunday morning or contact us at office@rrumc.org or 440.331.7676 so we can mail one to you.
We are hoping that, after worship on November 3, you will prayerfully and worshipfully fill out your Estimate of Giving Card. Ideally, we would like you to bring the completed card to worship with you on Sunday, November 10. If this will not be possible, then please mail it on November 4 so it arrives at the church by November 8. We will celebrate CONSECRATION SUNDAY on November 10 by having you bring your card forward as a part of that day’s worship experience (mailed cards will be placed on the altar as well).
We will celebrate Consecration Sunday by praying over the cards and what God is doing in and through the people of this wonderful church. Please remember that we set the upcoming year’s budget based on what you as a church write down on those Estimate of Giving Cards. That is why it is so important that you return them by November 10.
Note that we use “estimate of giving” instead of “pledge” because it more accurately reflects your intent. Because life changes may cause your income to go up or down, you need to feel free to change your estimate at any time as needed. In other words, it is not written in stone.
