Annual Campaign 2023

annual campaign 2023

We don’t wait for tomorrow, because tomorrow begins today.

When

we

reflect

on

the

136-year

legacy of First United Methodist Church Richardson, it’s easy to see the buildings, programs, and events. Let us never forget the people - those who came before us charting a path to where we are today.

Through community growth, periods of uncertainty, and cultural changes, they were steadfast in their commitment to this growing family of faith.

As we begin 2023, we take the time to consider where we have been, to express gratitude in the present, and to celebrate in the hope for the future.

We invite you to prayerfully consider your upcoming commitment to the Annual Campaign. Please know that all gifts of all amounts matter. We may make small differences individually, but together we truly can make life-changing impacts.

We look forward with great anticipation to the tomorrows that begin today!
