Rental revenue should cover about another 12% of our budget.\u00a0\u00a0Please come and stay after worship on\u00a0Sunday, December 5, for the annual\u00a0All-Church Conference (Congregational Meeting)\u00a0to discuss and vote on\u00a0the 2022 budget, 2022 leadership, and\u00a0re-financing of our mortgage (necessary because the new\u00a0credit union that has assumed our mortgage\u00a0requires updated documents in order to be in compliance with new regulations). Two commitment reminders:Make your dollars go farther\u00a0&#8211; If you haven\u2019t yet considered making automatic recurring payments through our SimpleChurch online giving program, this is a great time to jump onboard. For every gift from a new recurring donor that is added between Nov 1 and Dec 31, with the first payment made in December, SimpleChurch will match that first gift, up to $50 per gift, with a maximum of $1000 for our church.\u00a0Remember to update your bank or other financial institution\u00a0(including SimpleChurch) if you\u00a0decide to increase or otherwise change the amount of your payments in 2022. (Submitting the commitment form only does not constitute a financial arrangement for transfer of funds to Peace.) Poinsettia time!Order now to get a poinsettia! Our sanctuary decorators have purchased 18 and they are in place already. You&#8217;re invited to reimburse Peace for one or more of these ($13 apiece), and we&#8217;ll order more if you request it. Please email Cindy (cindy@peaceumc.com) and tell her if you&#8217;d like red, white, or candy pink, and get the check or cash to her on Sunday (there&#8217;ll be an order form in the bulletin)\u00a0or by mail. You may\u00a0indicate if the plant is &#8216;in honor of&#8217; or &#8216;in memory of&#8217; someone special in your life.\u00a0Please respond no later than Sunday,\u00a0December 12. In the past, we&#8217;ve also collected money to donate to our local\u00a0Ralph Reeder Food Shelf. You&#8217;re welcome to donate to them directly at any time\u00a0on their website.
