Special Contribution Update:  We are so close to our Special Missions Contribution goal!  So far, we’ve collected $51,860.53.  With just over $2000.00 to go, we’ve done an incredible job!  While most of us have already given our pledged amounts, but if you haven’t yet, please know that it’s not too late to give.  And if you do still plan to give, it would be very helpful if you could turn in a new pledge so that we can anticipate what the final total will be.  Pledges may be put in the collection plate or turned into John Clark. Also, just a small additional contribution from a few along with the pledge amounts will push us over the $54,000 mark.  Making – or exceeding – our SMC goal will be a huge victory for Worcester!
