First Parish 2021-22 Stewardship Drive
Starts February 28
The annual Stewardship Drive is an opportunity for you to make a promise to the future of First Parish by pledging the amount that you will give in our next Fiscal Year, which begins July 1, 2021.
Our theme “Together, Stronger Still” reflects how we have supported one another through the challenges of our time, sustaining the hope, resilience, and resolve demonstrated this year.
This year’s goals
The Parish Committee has identified the following priorities for increases to our budget over the current year. We hope everyone will pledge generously to help us meet these goals.
- Our staff, primarily increased funds to support our Parish Minister, as well as give our staff cost of living adjustments for this year and to make up for last year.
- Restore committee budgets to their pre-pandemic levels to fund increased activities as we return to our meeting house.
- Two special projects to increase safety and flexibility in our meetinghouse:
- Improvements to the HVAC system and airflow in the building
- Audio video equipment to allow remote participation along with in person services
