Beloveds in Christ, The Board of Church and Community Concerns would like to thank you for all the ways you give...of your time, your talents, and of your financial resources. We couldn’t share in all God has for us without you! As we have been spending time celebrating 250 years as a congregation, it has been inspiring to hear stories of our ancestors in the faith striving to live out our mission in this town in each generation. The stories of our own church are powerful reminders of how we have been shaped by the God of all creation and Christ’s church, and how we live out our calling as a church in meaningful ways. It is clear that when we align ourselves and our gifts with God’s heart, There Our Hearts Will Be Also for the future of ministry in and through our church. |

Over the next couple of weeks, we will ask everyone in our congregation to prayerfully and carefully discern their passions and priorities and decide how to align their money with those. We invite you, as people, to think about your financial gifts to the church as a reflection of what you value in our work together as a religious community, because how we make use of our money is a reflection of who we believe God is calling us to be.
We hope you will join us in making a commitment to give this coming year. By sharing a pledge with the church, you help the trustees understand how much money we will likely have to put towards our common mission over the next year. These pledges represent an estimate of what we intend to give out of gratitude for all God does to nurture, transform, and heal our hearts.
We will receive and celebrate the intentions we set for the year ahead on Pledge Sunday as part of worship on October 25, 2026. While you can turn your pledge card in any time, as part of our celebration, we hope you will bring your pledge card to be blessed that day and also join us for the fellowship.
Thank you again for your vital role in the life-changing ministry of this church. Your generosity is transforming lives—and thanks be to God, that includes our own.
Blessings,
The Board of Church and Community Concerns

Support Our Ministry! As we often say, no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here. Since its founding in 1776, our Winthrop Church has borne witness to the belief that God's love is a gift for all people and for all times. In January of 2017, the church took a step of faith and committed to raise the funds to help us live into our next steps as a place of welcome for all people. With our neighbors' help and the commitment of our church members, we were able to fulfill the promises we made. |
