Thank you to everyone has turned in a pledge card and chosen to participate in planning for our future together. We have big dreams - and our pledges are the main way in which we are able to fund these big dreams. We knew that this year's goals were very big, and it was likely we wouldn't reach them, however we also wanted to be as honest as possible about where we feel St. Columba's is called to go! If you are still discerning a pledge, and would like your pledge to be included in our budget planning for 2019, please return your pledge card or let Alissa know what you plan to pledge before Sunday, December 9th. 

Pledges Received: 46

Amount Pledged: $170,608. 

This puts us at 83% of the way to our goals for number of pledges and 76% to the amount we are hoping to be pledged. With a few more pledges and dollars, we will be able to maintain current employees and hours, as well as meet anticipated increases in ultility and maintenance costs next year. We will begin to make budget decision, to include cuts where necessary, in early December. 

If you intend to pledge and have not yet turned in a card, there is still time to do so. Every pledge, regardless of amount, moves us closer to our goals and helps us to plan for the future God has in mind for St. C's in 2019.
