Friends, I wanted to share an update with you about our end of year Now is the Time campaign efforts. As you may remember, we set a goal to raise $750,000 between October 1 and
December 31, 2023, in order to fund the ministries of Central this year. After just one month, I'm thrilled to report that we have made amazing progress. As of Sunday, 11/5, we have received $658,604 in received and committed gifts. This is 87% of our year end goal! We are so close! Many of you have returned your Now is the Time commitment form or made commitments in other ways.
Thank you! You have stepped up in real and courageous ways. If you have not had a chance to fill out your form and turn it in, I invite you to do so this Sunday during our offering moment. When you invest in what God is doing at CUMC, you will be blessed even as you bless others. I am confident we will fund our 2023 ministries and set ourselves up to do even more in 2024 because of
the faithfulness of the people in this congregation. Together, we will share the good news from Dickson St - that Jesus loves all of us! Gratefully, Jennie |

Hard copies of the Commitment Form will be available in the Narthex of the Sanctuary or the South Foyers of the
CAC. |
