Pastor Weight Loss Pledge

All the pastors have challenged themselves to lose a combined 125 pounds from now through September 14, 2008.  The congregation is encouraged to pledge $1, $2, $5 or more for each pound lost by the pastors.  10% of the funds received will be sent to the Synod's Ablaze! activity.  The balance of the funds will be used to fund our Lighthouse Ministry, Celebrate Recovery and Congregational Care ministries.  Pledge cards can be picked up in the church Atrium, or print off the card below and drop it in the box in the Atrium.  You will be advised after September 14, 2008 how much your pledge amounts to.
