The New Ministry Center Giving Tree
The Generosity Team sought an alternative to a thermometer for tracking commitment pledges as they came in. Therefore, they developed the concept of the giving tree. The painted top of the tree symbolizes the $1 million in assets the campaign has already set aside. This includes the revenue from selling the parsonage/schoolhouse.
The leaves on the tree represent the dollar amount of each pledge. We follow the teaching of Jesus of the "widow's mite," and no names are displayed on the leaves. Every contribution matters. The New Ministry Center will have a place to honor those who contributed or those they want to memorialize.
The two branch stumps represent the two other attempts to add more space to the sanctuary and ED building, which did not come to fruition at those times.
As funds are pledged, the bark of the tree will grow. When a milestone has been reached, we will "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree."
Estimated Construction Cost: $3,143,872
Commitment Pledges: $1,004,300
Commitment Estate Pledges: $210,000
Giving Tree Pledge Total: $1,214,300
Non-Pledged Donations: $67,367
Total Pledges & Non-Pledged Donations: $1,281,667

New Market United Methodist Church has a small food pantry we keep stocked for those in need. We are reaching out to you asking for donations to get us through the next few months.
Some Guidelines:
Do not buy “giant size” or “bulk” of anything – they will not fit in the pantry Examples, are large packages of diapers, toilet paper or paper towels. If you buy them in bulk and the paper products are individually wrapped we can put a few out at a time. Do not get “giant” size paper towels – they take up too much room. Large cans of anything usually won’t be picked up.
Please drop off donations to the Ed. Building or in the back of the Sanctuary
