A homebound member heard Sunday worship again
Hi [First name],
A lot has happened since your last gift. [Name] was homebound after surgery and had not heard a Sunday sermon in months. Then our livestream let them worship with us every week.
Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, and our congregation is raising $1,000 for the year-end ministry fund. It will cover one full month of winter ministry: heat for the sanctuary, sound and streaming for Sunday worship, and supplies for youth and children's programs and outreach.
Early gifts build momentum. Would you come back and give early? Your first gift back would help set the pace.
