Stewardship Campaign Update

On Sunday, Nov 10 we dedicated gifts received in support of Derry’s ministry in 2025. Your estimates of giving help the Session set a ministry and mission budget for the coming year.

Here is where we stand:

• 148 giving units completed 2025 Estimate of Giving Cards, compared to 185 at this time last year.
• 53 giving units increased their anticipated giving, compared to 65 last year.
• We received 9 new financial commitments totaling $27,480, compared to 19 totaling $67,175 last year.
• As of Nov 10, total estimated giving for 2025 is $719,612, compared to $853,651 last year.
• 96 giving units who made estimates of giving in 2024 have not yet submitted an estimate for 2025.
• Derry’s anticipated 2025 budget is a little over $1,423,000. To meet this proposed budget, we hope to receive estimates of giving totaling at least $1,200,000.

2024 has been an amazing year as we’ve celebrated our 300th anniversary. Let’s end this year strong as we look to continue growing our ministries and missions next year. To do this, we need your help in meeting our stewardship campaign goals. You can submit your 2025 Estimate of Giving online, call the church office (717-533-9667), or mail your estimate of giving card to the church (248 East Derry Road, Hershey PA 17033). Thanks, Derry!
