“Asking” Letters to be Forthcoming
The letters regarding the “Asking” pledge for the Diocese, as well as the 2010 assessments as set by governance committees, will be sent out to each parish within the next few days. The parishes are being requested to respond to Church House by December 15th with their commitment to this part of our common ministry for next year. Thus there will be no “pledge parade” at convention as has been done in the past. Instead, you are simply asked to respond either using the form that will be sent out or by e-mail as soon as is conveniently possible.
