10 PLEDGE SUNDAY 1st NOVEMBER 2015 The Church is now looking to budget our costs for 2016 and our annual Pledge Campaign is a huge help in this process. Pledge Cards and letters have been posted to members and there are Pledge Cards and envelopes available at the rear of the church today. Please support us this year by completing the Pledge Card and if at all possible bring it to Fisherwick on Sunday 1st November when we hope every member present will symbolically hand in their completed Pledge Card. Completing this card with what you hope to give Fisherwick in 2016 is certainly not a binding promise, we fully recognise that people s circumstances might change, all we ask for is your best estimate and this year we are anxious to persuade every member of our church to support our campaign. If you cannot come to Fisherwick on Sunday 1st November, do please complete your card now and send it into the church office. Please think prayerfully about your financial support of Fisherwick. If you can manage to increase your financial support it would be greatly appreciated, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians: Each of you must give as much as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver Thank you taking time to read this, may God bless you.
