All Churches, large and small, exist and thrive from the members’ pledges and open plate offering. It is no simple issue to ever discuss the need of money to operate the Church. However, it is a necessary and unpleasant task. this congregation needs a mimimum of $3500.00 per month to pay the bills and keep the doors open. Please review your pledge and open plate contributions and keep them current and regular, so that we can continue to offer the Moss Bluff community a viable Episcopal presence. And if possible consider an increase for 2010 toward our 2012 goals.
