On Saturday February 13 our Beloved
Community came together to "Be Committed". Good food, fine
company and spectacular entertainment helped us celebrate our
abundance as we reaped the benefits of small commitments by many
people. Thank you one more time to all who helped make it a very
memorable evening.
Part of the purpose of the Annual
Dinner is to launch our annual Pledge, or Stewardship Campaign that
helps us create our budget for the upcoming congregational fiscal
year, July 1, 2010 thru 2011, and some of the evening was spent
learning how you can help and why you would want to.
Many of you renewed or made fresh
financial and labor commitments to our work since then, and we thank
you so much for your generosity. We are
quickly approaching the halfway mark in our campaign, with over
$28,000 in pledges from 39 members in 27 households.
If you have not yet pledged your time
and talent to the congregation, won't you please do so? The greater
your commitments, the more readily we can achieve our
commitment to bring Polk County tolerance and liberal thought as
expressed in our mission statement, so won't YOU "Be Committed!" ?
Our Mission is
to Seek Truth, Share Strength,
Promote Understanding,
Develop Wisdom, Decry Division,
Embrace Diversity and
Open Minds.
