We celebrate how God has been at work in our lives this past year and we anticipate that we will “abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” in 2017!

We invite you to prayerfully consider how you will support the mission and ministry of Hyde Park Community/Over-the-Rhine Community United Methodist Church through your financial resources. In 2017, Holding onto Hope, we encourage you to join us in committing the “tithe” (10% of your income).

If you are unable to commit to the tithe, we encourage you to take a percentage step towards a tithe (see the chart on the opposite panel). Please pray for God to guide your decision to invest in the ministry of Jesus Christ; our prayers are with you!

Love in Christ, Pastors Cathy and Doug Johns
