                                     Matt Beaudet, Kevin Flynn, Peter Liffiton, Carole Marple

             The Stewardship Committee’s biggest job is to run the Stewardship Campaign.
             This year we:

                1.  Created, printed, assembled, stuffed envelopes, and mailed approximately 240 packages
                    consisting of an information brochure, pledge card, return mail envelope, and cover letter.
                2.  Had a “Drive Thru” pledge
                    drop off on Pledge Sunday.
                    Not a great success (13
                    pledges) but the best plan
                    we had with Covid
                    restrictions.
                3.  Pushed on-line pledging and
                    received 29 on-line pledges
                    during the campaign
                4.  Kept the “Giving Chart”
                    updated and in the E-Word
                    and Newsletters to let folks
                    know how we were doing.
                5.  In November, sent out e-
                    mails to all “as yet to
                    pledge” folks and some
                    more pledges came in.
                6.  Just after Thanksgiving, we
                    sent out e-mails to all “as
                    yet to pledge” prior pledgers
                    and more pledges came in.
                7.  The first week of January
                    calls were made to 17 “as
                    yet to pledge” prior pledgers
                    and more pledges came in.

                On January 8, 2021 the pledge
                campaign reached it pledge
                target of matching last year’s
                pledge total of $476,964.  As of
                the writing of this report toward a goal of 133 pledges we have received 125 of which 7 are new
                pledges from folks who did not pledge last year.


             The success of the pledge campaign is a testament to the faithfulness and generosity of the Pilgrim
             Church congregation.  Thank you.
