Dear Faith family,

The Fundraising Committee has been working hard behind the scenes to coordinate the upkeep and painting of our church.

**Annual Pledge Announcement**
This May, we invite you to take part in our Annual Pledge. This is a special appeal separate from the regular Sunday offering. Each $50 contribution represents one bucket of paint. We warmly encourage you to pledge as many buckets as you are able in support of this important project.
Contributions can be made over the five Sundays in May.

Pledge envelopes are now available in the church foyer and the Parish office. We will share progress updates throughout the month.

To submit your completed pledge envelope(s), please place them in the offertory basket on Sundays or drop it off at the Parish office.

Thank you for your continued generosity and support of our Parish.

The Fundraising Committee
