Raise Us Up
This year’s stewardship theme, Raise Us Up, is not just a theme, it is our prayer.
We are asking God to lift us up to a place where we can see and enter the new things God has in store for us as Reveille United Methodist Church. We are seeking to raise up Reveille to reach and include more people, strengthen faith through discipleship, and serve with greater impact in our community.
As we offer our pledges of financial support in 2025, we are also asking God to “Raise us Up” in our personal giving, so that we can celebrate the goodness and fullness of a life of generosity.
If you have already returned your 2025 pledge, thank you for your generosity and support of Reveille’s ministries. If you haven’t pledged yet, it is not too late! You can return your pledge card during worship, mail it to the church office, or complete a pledge online.
Begin With Prayer
As you consider your financial pledge for 2025, start with prayer:
Our Stewardship Prayer
We give you praise, O God, for the wonderful things you have done in our lives and church.
In this focused time of stewardship, we ask that you move within us.
Raise us up, encouraging and sustaining us to volunteer more of our personal time.
Raise us up to share the unique talents within each of us.
Raise us up to take the next steps of generous giving so that our resources can best serve your kingdom.
Open and quiet our hearts to hear your still small voice so that we can be one in doing your will.
In your Son’s holy name, Amen.
Why Pledge?
A pledge is an estimate of your financial contributions in the coming year. These contributions fund everything we do as a church, from salaries for clergy and staff to supporting our outreach ministries, worship, music, and facilities. Pledges help the church plan for both priorities and possibilities in the year ahead.
A pledge is also a response to God’s generosity in our lives. It is made both in thanks and as a commitment. A pledge can turn giving into a spiritual discipline, just like prayer or worship, helping to keep God as a priority in our life.
Raise Up Your Giving
If you do not currently give to Reveille, start your faithful generosity journey. Every contribution or pledge helps further the purposes of Christ.
If you give but do not pledge, make a commitment for 2025. Giving consistently is a spiritual discipline and helps the church’s ministries thrive. Every pledge matters, regardless of the amount.
If you already pledge, take a step up in your giving commitment. By giving in proportion to income and moving toward the ultimate goal of the tithe (10% of income), you are lovingly and responsibly placing yourself in service to God.
Pledge now to support Reveille’s ministries in 2025. You may also return your pledge card during worship or mail it to the church office.

IMPORTANT
Be sure to make a new pledge for 2025. Pledges do not automatically renew. You should submit a new pledge each year so the church can record and acknowledge your commitment.
Please update your giving amount to correspond to your 2025 pledge. If your pledge amount is different from the amount you gave in 2024, please be sure to update your online giving or bank bill pay with the new amount.
FULFILLING YOUR PLEDGE
Using Reveille’s secure online giving platform to fulfill your pledge allows you to manage and review your contributions. Recurring giving also provides consistent support to sustain Reveille’s ministries. Consider giving by direct debit (ACH transfer) from a checking or savings account instead of a credit card for lower processing fees.
