2025 End-of-Year Gift

Dear LSPC Family,

We are asking you to prayerfully consider giving a special end-of-year gift to Lincoln Square Presbyterian Church. For the past 16 years, LSPC has been a place where many have come to worship and find welcome. Along with this welcome, LSPC has faithfully sought to love and serve our neighbors and make God's invisible kingdom visible. We desire to remain this kind of place next year and in the years to come, but we need your help. We are asking for your continued partnership in making this possible.

This past spring, we set a clear goal: to move toward a fully balanced and realistic budget for the fiscal year ending March 2026. After running budget deficits in recent years, we have made meaningful progress towards this goal, and we are genuinely grateful for the generosity and faithfulness of our congregation. Even so, we entered this year with the intention of closing our remaining deficit, and at this point, we are still behind pace. Through mid-November, we are approximately $34,000 short of our pace to finish the year with a balanced budget. While we have seen encouraging improvement in recent weeks, we still need additional support to meet this goal.

End-of-Year Gifts are crucial, and they enable us to serve our neighbors, work with our mission partners, and meet needs within our congregation. Historically, December giving represents roughly 20% of our annual giving—about three times a typical month—and it is a key part of how we plan for the year ahead. But more than that, it's important in helping us continue to proclaim and reflect Christ, the one who is making all things new.

Will you help us finish this year strong and continue to be a place that embodies and shares the newness of Christ by giving a special End of Year Gift to LSPC?

On behalf of the Deacons and Elders,

Will Atkins and Rob Globke
