We begin a new church year with a fresh and inspiring array of charities to support through our Share the Plate program. Each month, a different organization will be highlighted as our recipient, and we invite everyone to stay engaged by checking the updated postings on the kiosk downstairs, just outside the Undercroft Gallery. These monthly updates will include information about each recipient as well as the total amount donated to them, helping us stay connected to the impact we are making together.

As a community, we can take great pride in what we accomplished during the ’25–’26 church year. Through your generosity and commitment, we contributed a remarkable $26,246.88 to our twelve Share the Plate recipients. This level of giving reflects not only our shared values but also our dedication to supporting meaningful work beyond our walls.

Looking ahead, we know the cost of everything continues to rise, affecting individuals, families, and the organizations doing vital work in our region. With that in mind, perhaps we can challenge ourselves to stretch a little further this year—whether through consistent giving, spreading the word, or encouraging others to participate. Every contribution, no matter the size, strengthens our collective ability to make a difference.

Let’s enter this new church year with gratitude for what we’ve achieved and enthusiasm for what we can accomplish together.
