Yesterday David reminded us of something different that we could do on Cyber Monday rather than shop — to go make your pledge for 2021 if you haven’t already! Hope some of you took advantage of that easy way to make your commitment.
Well, today, I’m sure that your email inbox is already filling up with appeals for GIVING TUESDAY. While all non-profits are especially in need this year due to the pandemic, so is the church. Sure, support your favorite charities, but remember what hopefully is at the center of your life, God and your faith. So today, why not give to Second Presbyterian Church first with an extra gift for this year or to get current with your 2020 pledge.
Step up to the plate today. Be generous. Make a difference for our church and its vital work in the community and the world.
Stay warm and stay safe!
Thanks,
Stewardship Team
Giving Tuesday
Today is a chance to join with people all over the world to support your favorite charities, but remember what hopefully is at the center of your life, God and your faith. So today, why not give to Second Presbyterian Church first with an extra gift for this year or to get current with your 2020 pledge.
And help support some of our partners:
Give to the Tywanza Sanders Legacy Foundation to fund scholarship and camp opportunities in honor of Tywanza. Your contribution will make a local impact, whether you donate $5 or $500.
Give safe water. Donate to Water Mission on this global day of generosity! This #GivingTuesday, you can help provide families with access to safe water and sanitation solutions. Every dollar you give will be matched up to $37,000.
Out of chaos, hope. Give to support Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. This year there have been a record number of tropical systems and a record number of acres burned by wildfires— all while we are living through a worldwide pandemic. Help PDA respond.
Give of your time. Sign up to volunteer at the City of Charleston's Warming Center this winter. Sign up here if you can help or let Sarah Mitchell know.
Season of Giving: Cyber Monday
Advent is a season of giving. We're enticed by clever marketing to shop Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. The commercial celebration continues with Cyber Monday– today, November 30.
While you're online taking advantage of those great offers, remember to give here too. If you haven't done so already, make your pledge for 2021. Don't forget to get current on your 2020 pledge, too, if you can.
The church needs your support now more than ever. Step up to the plate, and make Second first in your giving plan.
Thanks,
Stewardship Team
