Where does my gift go?

The General Fund: Your monthly pledge or donation is essential to the operation of the church.  Without it we can’t fulfill our mission statement.

You may also give to funds designated for special purposes. These offer opportunities to honor a loved one, celebrate a special occasion, or address a specific need.

Book of Remembrance: You may make a donation to the Book of Remembrance in memory of a loved one.  This donation will go toward the beautification of the church or to a special need not covered by the yearly budget. For example, Book of Remembrance gifts were used to upgrade our audio-video systems to improve our ministry to those stuck at home during the pandemic.

Charles P. Luckey Jr. Scholarship Fund: As tuition and related costs have increased dramatically in the past few years, it has become more difficult for many students to finance their education.  We are pleased to continue the memory of the Rev. Charles Luckey and his efforts to help students and members of the Middlebury Congregational Church further their education.

Pastor’s Discretionary Fund: During this economic downturn there are more people in our community in extreme need. As these needs become apparent to the pastor, she uses the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund to help in an emergency on a one-to-one basis.

Flower Fund: Each Sunday our flower volunteers beautifully arrange flowers to brighten the church.  Your donation to the flower fund will enable them to continue to do this.

Third Century Fund: This fund is used to make major improvements and repairs to the church.  In recent years, this fund has been used to install new energy efficient windows in the entire church building and to repaint the building inside and out.  As we use this fund for improvements it also has to be replenished to be there for the future.

Special Recognition or Tribute: We now have a way for you to make a donation and recognize a special event or loved one. It’s easy! Send your request to the church office by mail or email.  The information we need is what the recognition is (in memory of someone, a thank you, congratulations, happy birthday or anniversary etc.), who it is from and a note if you wish.  Your tribute will be published in that week’s Sunday newsletter and in that month’s Church Life.

However or whatever you choose to give to Middlebury Congregational Church, we appreciate your contribution and will put it to good use Doing God’s Work. Thank you!
