Welcome To Faith !
       Today is Pledge Sunday!
   We honour God with the simple act
        of giving back to Him the
     “first portion”—the best part—
       of what He has given to us.

  On Pledge Sunday, we come together
   collectively as the body of Christ to
    dedicate our individual pledges to
   God as part of our worship to Him.
