We don’t pledge for the regular budget, why do we need to pledge for the Making Space Campaign?

I appreciate that we can speak frankly about the regular financial needs of our congregation and then trust that everyone will respond as they are able.  In my opinion, this is what it means to be a church- we understand the costs associated with running our church and we support it! Pledging to Making Space is a way to express excitement and enthusiasm for the project.  Your pledges and responses will help the leadership team determine when we can move forward.  This is a big project and will stretch us!  Your gifts and pledges of all amounts will be a way to say, ‘We’re ready to do this together!’  – Pastor Trudy Stoffel
