| Annual Bishop's Appeal |
Thank you to those who have made gifts to the Annual Bishop’s Appeal. If you did not yet make an Annual Appeal pledge, we hope you will take time to do so today. No gift is too small (or too big)! Please give from the heart so that the many great ministries of our diocese can continue to be funded. We hope that all parishioners will participate; funds over our diocesan goal will directly support our parish ministries.
Additional pledge forms are available in the church and at the parish office. You may also view more information or give online at www.diocesefwsb.org/aba. Thank you again for your support of our diocesan and parish ministries!
