Rooted & Rising
Our 2027 Pledge Drive
Celebrating 30 Years of Spiritual Community
November 8 to December 27, 2026
Every tree that rises tall begins below the surface. Its roots reach deep, drawing from a Source they cannot see, and that hidden strength becomes branches, leaves and shade for everyone who gathers beneath it.
For 30 years, our Center has been growing roots like these. Three decades of Sunday celebrations, classes, prayer and friendship have reached deep into this community. That is where the name Rooted & Rising comes from: we honor how deeply we are rooted, and we look ahead to how far we can rise.
As we begin our fourth decade, this pledge drive is our invitation to look ahead to 2027 together and to make a clear, joyful commitment to the life of this Center.
Watch Our Tree Grow
Each pledge fills the leaves of our tree. Together we are growing toward our goal of $45,000. Check back throughout the drive to watch it rise.
Why We Pledge
In Science of Mind we know that Spirit is the one Source of all good, and that this good flows through us as freely as we allow it. Giving is how we take part in that circulation. What we release into the Law of Life returns to us multiplied, because the universe always responds to the pattern of our thought and action.
A pledge is an act of conscious intention. Rather than giving as an afterthought, we decide in advance how we will let our good circulate in the coming year. It is not a bill or an obligation. It is a statement of faith in the abundance that is already ours.
On the practical side, your pledge helps our Board and staff plan and budget for the new year with confidence. Knowing what to expect lets us commit to the Sunday services, classes, music and community programs that make this Center a spiritual home.
Rooted in Spirit, Rising in Service
Rooted
We are rooted in the Truth that there is one Life, that this Life is good, and that it lives as each of us. For 30 years we have been rooted in this community, among people who have gathered, prayed, learned and served together, and in principles that hold us steady in every season. Each person who has passed through our doors has helped those roots grow deeper.
Rising
From those roots, we rise. As we enter our fourth decade, we grow in consciousness and in service: inspiring Sunday celebrations, classes that deepen our practice, a community that welcomes everyone, and a positive presence in the wider world.
How to Pledge
