STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN

Your astonishing generosity allowed Union to take some major steps forward. This past year has been one of unprecedented committed giving, with 68% of Union Church households giving a scheduled, pledged offering. This committed, regular giving is the financial foundation that allows the church to plan the ministries and programs for the year ahead. Committed giving not only benefits Union Church: 10% of this regular giving is offered as the church tithe to Community Care in support of various ministries across the Hong Kong community at-large.

Let’s make 2011 another year of remarkable committed giving! Please take time for prayerful reflection on the financial commitment you can make. God loves cheerful givers (2 Corinthians 9:7), regardless of the size of their offering. If you have not given before, please consider making a start this year. If you have previously given financially but have not made a commitment, please take the next step in committing yourself to the financial support of our church. If you have been faithful in commitment in the past, we ask you to consider continuing your gift at a level that best suits your circumstances.

Commitment Sunday, complete with an Thanksgiving Dinner, is on Sunday 21 November. We ask you to pray about your part in supporting God's work at Union.
