AbyssinianWEST 3.0 in 24Mo!
We have launched our inaugural campaign for AbyssinianWEST --- 3.0 in 24 MO! Our Pastor has addressed our membership with letters asking for your assistance in our effort to raise $12 Million to build our educational center. We are asking each member to make a pledge, over and above your tithes and offerings, for the next 24 months to help us raise $3 Million. Pledge cards were included in your mailings and are available in the church elevator lobby, and at Abyssinian.org via the “AbyssinianWEST” icon. The pledge card can be left at the front desk in the Trustee mailbox. Special envelopes for your pledge payments are available from the ushers. Thank you in advance for your support. Through your generosity, we will be able to begin to meet the financial requirement for our move west.
