What is the Wish List Program? |
The Wish List Program was established to publicize and provide funding for special requests and long-term projects which benefit North Congregational Church. Wish List items are not covered by the yearly operating budget and are funded by non-pledge donations from Church members and friends. |
How are items added to the Wish List? |
Suggestions are accepted from members of the Church and also from Boards, Committees, or other Organizations of the Church. Suggestions are compiled by the Board of Trustees and reviewed by Executive Council. |
How are Wish List items funded? |
Monetary donations may be made by submitting a check to the Business Manager or using the online donation form. Donations will be held for the requested purpose until used. Gifts may be treated anonymously if desired. |
