Dear *|FNAME|* *|LNAME|*,
 
First, I want to thank you for you pledges to St. Paul’s in years past.  Your contributions have been vital to the life of the parish, and are deeply appreciated.
 
Our records indicate that we have not yet received your pledge for the 2017 fiscal year.  As you probably know, the Vestry Finance Committee must present the 2017 budget at the annual parish meeting in January.  In order to prepare the budget, the committee needs to know what contributions it can count on throughout the coming year.  Pledged contributions represent 65 percent of our operating income, so it’s very important that we have everyone’s pledge as soon as possible.
 
Won’t you please help us by sending in your pledge at the earliest possible opportunity?  You can mail in your pledge at any time, or you can drop it in the plate on Sunday.  If you did not receive a pledge card in the mail, they are available from the usher on Sunday, or you can email me your pledge.
 
Thank you for your on-going support of St. Paul’s.
 
Sincerely,
 
Doug Munson
Chair, St. Paul’s Stewardship Committee
