2026 Stewardship for HUMC

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
1 TIMOTHY 6:18

First, wishing you a joyous Thanksgiving holiday!

Just a brief note to update everyone on our 2026 stewardship campaign results from our consecration of pledges on Sunday November 23rd.

Thank you for a gratifying start! The support for our church never ceases to amaze me—and the enthusiasm for the leadership and vision of Pastor John Bell is visible in our “first day” results:

· 26 families increased their pledge from last year

· 5 families newly pledged for 2026 compared to 2025

· 19 families maintained their giving at 2025 levels

· 2 families had a decrease in their pledge intentions

We are hopeful of improving upon our 2025 pledge results. But that requires a positive response from about 25 families that have faithfully supported the church for many years.

If you have not made a pledge yet, please join us in our “Path Forward” stewardship campaign to allow us to strengthen the vital ministries of the church ongoing in the congregation and across the community. Each contribution matters, both for its financial value and as a concrete sign of your support for our church. You can access essential background details through the links below.

Thank you for all you do for HUMC!
