[Coc] Your 2017-2018 UCM Pledge

[Dan Groberg]

All,

We are looking for people to give spoken testimonials as part of this
year's pledge drive. These could be given at the pledge drive kickoff
dinner on Friday, or at one of the three Sunday services during the drive,
starting this Sunday. It would be wonderful to have one or two church
leaders share why they give to UCM.

Please let me know if you'd be willing to do this.

Thank you for your consideration.

Gratefully,
Dan Groberg
