Stewardship
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; praise Him above, ye heavenly host; praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.”
--Lyrics: Thomas Ken
Music: Att. To Louis Bourgeois
The United Methodist Church (UMW) espouses a “deepening commitment to personal and corporate Christian stewardship, which includes the use and sharing of talents and resources and the practice of a Christian lifestyle.”
Members answer this stewardship invitation through RSVP, a year-round reminder of our vows to support HPCUMC with prayers, presence, gifts and service as well as:
Annual Giving |
|
Every October,
members are asked to prayerfully consider their level
of giving for the new calendar year. Pledge fulfillment
is accepted in various ways, including weekly collection
plate donations, one-time payments, automatic payroll
deductions (HPCUMC employees only), and automated electronic
giving. Additionally, stock
may be transferred to the church to fulfill a pledge.
Contact [email protected]
to arrange electronic giving or to obtain information
on transferring stock to the Church. |
Special
Campaigns |
|
“Changing
Lives,” a three-year capital campaign which
kicked off in April 2005, is currently underway. Contributions
to capital campaigns can be made in the same ways
mentioned above for annual giving; be sure to denote
capital campaign on the memo line of your check.
