An Update from the Fiscal Year 2027 Stewardship Campaign

As we close out our Fiscal Year 2027 stewardship campaign, we want to thank everyone for your generosity and support. We were inspired to Light the lantern, Be the signal light to our community by investing in First Parish’s outreach, ministry, worship and staff. We shared some of the reasons we give, and we are practicing the spiritual discipline of generosity by increasing our congregation’s pledging to $275,195, an increase of 5% over last year. While we didn’t meet our original goal of adding 10 new pledging families and reaching $311,300 total pledges, we continue to increase our overall giving and are excited that six new families have pledged their financial support to First Parish. You can hear more about our budget at the 5/31 meeting after church, or at our Annual Meeting on June 14. Thank you! – The Stewardship Team
