In John 6:35, Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” As the Stewardship Committee reflected on the things that bring joy, peace, and richness to our lives, we kept coming back to Christ’s words, and they became the theme of our 2014 Stewardship campaign – Bread of Life: Come. Partake. Share.
Westminster Community Stewardship Relay
This year your pledge materials will once again be delivered to you personally via the Westminster Community Stewardship Relay. The Relay will run from October 20 – November 4.
How it works:
- Our congregation has been divided into Paths of approximately 10 families each.
- A Pledge Pack containing the materials needed to make your financial and Time & Talent pledges to WPC will be relayed from family to family down the Path.
- When the Pack comes to you, please fill out your pledge forms, seal them in the security envelope provided, contact the next family on the Path, and deliver the Pack to them.
A Path Guide assigned to your Path will monitor the progress of the Pack along the Path, answer your questions, and provide overall support throughout the process
