My Orange, My Pledge

Your pledge points to the ways you are living in God’s story, and supporting the church with your prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness.

Dear Orange UMC Family,

Each month, one of the first things that we do at each Church Council meeting is answer the question, Who has found their place in God’s story? We do that because it is a way to confirm that we are living into our vision: to be a church that helps people find their place in God’s story. I love to hear the various members of the Church Council sharing stories of people within the congregation who have found new groups to be a part of, or those who have found new ways to serve. And each month this year, I have celebrated that we truly have been intentionally living into that vision!

We are truly thankful for the ways that each of you have helped us live into that vision. You have shared so many blessings through your commitment, presence, and generous support, all of which have enabled us to impact lives within and beyond our congregation. Your contributions have allowed us to support more children through Backpack Buddies, deepen our partnership with PORCH of Hillsborough, and begin new outreach ministries such as Soap & Hope and Lasagna Love. But not only have we been able to reach out beyond our church, within we have seen a revitalization of our youth ministry, and the numbers of children involved in our children’s ministries continue to grow.

Orange UMC is a church that is positioned for a bright and faithful future. This year, our annual giving campaign invites you to continue your path of generosity. Your support is essential as we walk boldly ahead. Please prayerfully consider your financial commitment for the upcoming year, as every contribution, regardless of amount, makes a difference.

Please use the online form found below to indicate your commitment and return it by November 16 . If you have questions, would like an paper form, or wish to discuss your pledge, contact the church office at (919)942-2825 or [email protected]. Thank you for your faith and generosity. We are blessed to have you as part of our community.

In Christ's love and with heartfelt thanks,
Rev. Adam Seate, Lead Pastor, Orange United Methodist Church
