Supporting a church we love through GENEROSITY...

Picture
Friends of Portland Mennonite Church,

I know the calendar just turned to Fall, but we are already planning for the new year. Our leadership group, the Table, is starting to formulate a budget for 2020.  We will, of course, continue to fund the on-going work of our core ministries (Worship, Faith Formation, Congregational Life, Community Outreach, as well as Broader Church giving). In addition, we are looking forward to:
  • Purchasing Voices Together, our new denominational hymnal that will be published in Fall 2020;
  • Supporting key caring ministries at PMC, including training two new leaders for Stephen Ministry and funding for the emerging Visitation Ministry;
  • Providing tuition assistance for PMCers studying at Mennonite institutions of higher learning (we will have two at Goshen College and four at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary);
  • With 19 junior high kids and 17 in the MYF this year, our youth ministry continues to thrive; the proposed budget includes money to provide coming-of-age quilts to graduating high school seniors and funding to send a large group to the next Mennonite Church USA convention.
  • Nearly 17% of the proposed budget goes to support Mennonite church ministries globally, nationally, and here in the Pacific Northwest.

To fully fund what we hope to do in 2020 will require a 4% increase in giving. I invite you to financially support the ministries of PMC.  You can a pledge on-line or via the hard copy form found in the Old Chapel.
Please be as generous as you can.

Thank you,
