Question: When does a small step make a big difference?
Answer: When ALL of us take that step together.
Giving is not about the size of the gift, but about trusting God and joining in what God is doing. The apostle Paul reminds us that “God is more than gracious to meet our every need.” Each time we give, we open the door for God’s love to be shared through FUMC Plano.
This year, we’re inviting our church family to take TWO simple, faithful steps: increase your current giving by just 2% between now and the end of 2025 AND commit 2% (or add 2% to your percentage from your last year’s commitment) of your income in 2026.
Why 2%?
Our costs have increased 2% in 2025 and will increase another 2% in 2026. An increase of 2% in your giving to God will make 98% of the difference needed for success.
The Impact of Your 2%
Even a modest step—such as starting with 2% of your income or simply increasing what you gave last year—can strengthen the life-changing ministries of our church:
children and youth programs that grow disciples,
mission projects that help our community,
and transformative worship that welcomes hundreds each week.
As we look to strongly finish 2025, we invite you to consider increasing your giving by 2% in these last three months of the year. Your generosity now will help us step into 2026 with confidence and gratitude.
Your Next Steps:
Prayerfully consider that just 2 cents more on the dollar of your regular giving will make an outsized difference for the ministry of FUMC Plano in the last three months of 2025 and beyond.
Bring your 2026 Estimate of Giving Card on Commitment Sunday, October 19, when we will consecrate our commitments together as a church family. You can also make your estimate of giving HERE.
Together, our faithful giving will open doors to a stronger 2026, with strength, gratitude, and trust that God is more than gracious to meet our every need.
