Stewardship Happenings

The Christmas Fund
Campaign and will be taken up on December 22, 2019 during the Sunday service. This Christmas Fund collection is for the Veterans of the Cross and the Emergency Fund is a Special Mission Offering that congregations have been supporting for over 100 years. The offering is administered through the United Church Board for Ministerial Assistance, the charitable arm of the Pension Boards. Funds provide direct financial support to those who serve the church and are facing financial difficulties. Active and retired clergy, lay employees, and their surviving spouses may be eligible for the Supplementation of Small Annuities, Supplementation of Health Premiums, Emergency Grants, and/or Christmas “Thank You” Gift Checks.

Annual Stewardship Campaign
Annual Stewardship Campaign Currently we have received 21 pledges with $52,910.00 being committed to the church operating budget. Although pledges are down from last year, the total money raised is in increase of $770.00 from last year. If you have not received a Stewardship letter please contact Larry DeLacy at (603) 547-0625 and he will ensure you get your letter. For those that have not returned their pledge cards it is not too late to fill them out and return them to the church. You can either put them in the collection plate during Sunday service or mail them to the church. The Stewardships goal is to raise the funds from pledges to 50% up from 35% over the next 3 years. We thank everyone who contributed to this year’s Stewardship Drive and for those who give their time and talents to Smith Church in helping us reach our goal.
