Dear Members and Friends of Faith and Ridgeland/Dallas United Methodist Churches:

Sunday, November 4th is our congregation's Consecration Sunday.  I urge you to plan now to attend the two important events:

Sunday morning Worship at 10:30 a.m.
and the
Celebration Luncheon
immediately following worship that same day.

This will be a catered meal, not a potluck diner.  There will be no cost for the meal.  It is the church's way of saying "thank you"

This spiritual-growth-oriented process is designed to enrich our biblical understanding of Christian stewardship.  Rather than focusing the need of the church to receive, the experience concentrates on the need of the giver to give for his or her own spiritual development.

We believe that you are concerned enough to attend on Consecration Sunday and make your financial commitment as an act of worship in the church sanctuary.

No one will call on you at your home for a pledge.  But we will contact you personally to secure your commitment to attend morning worship on Consecration Sunday and the Celebration Luncheon immediately after worship.

God's blessings on you!

Gina Harren and Connie Salsbury
Consecration Sunday Chairpersons
