Because 95% of our budget comes from annual giving, your pledge is love made visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, we have received <strong>$203,910<\/strong> in pledges from 63 member families and 4 non-member friends. This is 81.6% of the way to our goal of $250,000.&nbsp; At our June congregation meeting, the Board announced a proposed balanced budget of <strong>$216,190<\/strong> for FY25-26. The current pledge amount provides about 94% of the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Board has revised the budget downward, we still need additional pledges to meet WellSprings\u2019 needs in the coming year.&nbsp; If you have not pledged yet, please consider doing so soon \u2013 any amount is helpful.&nbsp; Pledges made now would be fulfilled between&nbsp;July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you been giving regularly without filling out a pledge form?
