While we received a number of pledges this week, we are still behind our goal for numbers of pledges. Many who have pledged in the past, as well as some new parishioners, have yet to do so. Together we can share the load and celebrate a tremendous success to ensure a dynamic and growing parish. If you have yet to pledge, please do so as soon as possible.

GIFT:

71 Pledges received.
$19,983.34 in contributions made already (will result in $9,991.67 revenue to CCBC in coming weeks).
To date, parishioners have contributed to GIFT by:
THANK YOU to those who pledged to date and to volunteers who have helped with the campaigns.

THIS WEEK, please turn in your pledges if you have not already done so. This will enable the Stewardship Team to wind down the campaign before Advent, and will enable the Finance Committee to start budget preparation for 2012 with an accurate view of the financial resources which will be available.

Here at Christ Church Bells Corners we understand stewardship to be the faithful offering of all the blessings entrusted to us by God. This embraces every aspect of our lives: the use of our time, skills, energy, and money. We strive to give attention to this comprehensive view of stewardship. Time is taken for discerning prayerfully and thinking strategically about the ministry to which we have been called. At the same time, we also seek to put the resources - human, spiritual and financial - in place to ensure that we can realize this ministry.

CCBC has a 30-year history of biennial financial stewardship campaigns that have become a regular part of our parish life. Every two years each parish household is invited to intentionally consider their blessings and what they are able to offer to the ministry of Christ Church Bells Corners, mindful of all the priorities they seek to balance. Scripture calls people of faith to give of their bountiful blessing. Proportional giving is the offering of a percentage of your income for God's work in the world. Rather than giving what is left over, we are challenged to give first to God. Our parish has adopted this central teaching for personal financial stewardship.

Many parishioners make their offering through Pre-Authorized Remittance (PAR), the transfer of pre-determined amounts from a household bank account to that of the church. For information about signing up for PAR, please contact the parish office or download and complete the PAR Application Form.
