Friends, Sunday, November 22, 2020, will be Commitment Sunday for our "Be Renewed" generosity campaign at Shalimar United Methodist. We urge you to plan now to be in worship that day. 2020 has been a challenging year, but we've seen God work in powerful and unexpected ways. After prayer and discernment, we believe that preparing ourselves, and our church for 2021 is what God wants for us right now. "Be Renewed" is a biblical, spiritual, and inspirational emphasis designed to enrich our understanding of biblical generosity. We hope to be renewed in our commitment and to give generously back to God. "Be Renewed" is not built on the need of our church to fund a budget, but on the need of each person to contribute proportionately as a part of his or her own spiritual maturity and commitment to Christ. Sometimes, we have measured too much of our success on whether or not we could underwrite a particular budget. For this year and for years to come, we will measure success by how much the people of Shalimar UMC are willing to take the next step in their generosity journey. Please make every effort to join with the Shalimar UMC family on "Be Renewed" Commitment Sunday to make your response. It will be a special time together! We plan for everyone to be able to participate–whether in-person or online. In His Service,
Rev. Faith Parry and the "Be Renewed" Generosity Team
