For the year 2024, we’re guided by the words from the book of Daniel:
Through windows open to Jerusalem,
on our knees praying, giving thanks to God.
(based on Daniel 6:10)
Windows symbolize clarity and vision. They did for Daniel, who prayed three times a day in a room where his windows opened toward Jerusalem. They do for us at Forest Hill Church, as we worship together in a space surrounded by our beautiful sanctuary windows. Together, in so many ways, we give thanks daily and ask for clarity in our personal and congregational walks of faith.
Some of our visions have been realized already in programming, and our funding for next year will allow that to continue. Some of our visions ask us to imagine what could be if we stretch – perhaps outward toward the community, perhaps inward toward our own faithful growth, often both at once. If we can stretch to raise additional funds, there is much more within our reach – just outside the windows.

Ways to Give
Pledging
A Pledge is a commitment to contribute a specific amount to the church’s annual budget for the year. Some people’s household income lends itself to giving on a regular basis: weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. Other people’s income is sporadic or fluctuating, and they meet their yearly pledge as they can throughout the year. Either way, making a stated commitment for the coming year:
- enables our leadership to plan wisely and set a realistic budget for the coming year.
- creates a mechanism for our personal accountability.
- demonstrates that we are sincerely dedicated to the ministry and mission of our faith family.
Designated Gifts
Designated Gifts are financial contributions made for a specific purpose, such as sanctuary flowers, food pantry, education, music, Ron Register Scholarship, etc. When making designated gifts, you complete an online form and indicate the purpose of the gift.
