Our 2026-2027 Pledge Drive is Starting!

We appreciate the many generous contributions of our members and friends to support and improve
our Community: attending church services, planning church services, leading lay church services,
listening, forgiving, committee work, donating food, mowing the grass, organizing fundraisers, helping
each other materially and spiritually, and performing the myriad other jobs that enable our Community
to thrive. 
We also appreciate and depend upon generous financial contributions from our members to fund our
minister and staff salaries, and to maintain our buildings. In our annual pledge drive, we reach out to our
members to commit to funding the largest income source in our budget, pledge fulfillment from our
members. Financially, many of us are in good shape, some of us manage without much to spare, and a
few of us struggle to pay our bills due to lost jobs or fixed incomes. Whatever your circumstances, all of
us belong in our Community, our Church. All of us. 
Last year, we exceeded our pledge goal of $80,000. WooHoo! We are discussing this year’s pledge goal
and will announce it soon. If you are doing well financially, please consider a 10% increase from your
pledge last year**. If you are struggling financially, please know we understand that you also love our
community. Pledge what you can. If you need a confidential pledge waiver to remain an active voting
member, contact Rev Steve Wilson at (617) 852-2292 or stevewilson22@yahoo.com or Celia Brown at
508-523-3856 or Celiabrown0@gmail.com. Whatever you do will be generous and appreciated.  
If you are ready to commit to a financial contribution to our Community, go to First Parish Northborough
2026-2027 Pledge and Membership Questionnaire. If you have questions or prefer to pledge by email,
contact Alan Brooks at abrooks729@gmail.com. We hope to complete the pledge drive by the end of
March. Your earliest decision will be gratefully appreciated.
 
Thanks for your generous support! 
** Your pledge amount for 2025-2026 is in the Charitable donation statement for CY 2025 mailed in
