Walk in Love 2027: WHY I PLEDGE

When my husband died last year, it hit me hard in all of the ways it possibly could: spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. I knew I’d be able to continue to make our yearly pledge to COS, but how much? What would my budget look like once the dust from the upheaval had settled?

A few months passed, and I sat in our Church during Sunday’s service, as I have for so many years. I looked around the sanctuary and saw all of the people who have been so kind, so supportive, so loving toward me and my family. I thought to myself: I know the names of probably 80 percent of the people sitting in these pews today; how can I not continue to show my gratitude to this place and these kind people?

My 2027 pledge is a thank you to Church of Our Saviour. To the clergy, the staff, the parishioners, and the volunteers for holding me and my family up when we wanted to collapse. Thank you for being the people and the place I can count on for compassion, fellowship, kindness, and love. What a blessing it is to be part of this community. With gratitude and love.
