Ellie Johns-Kelley preached at First Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York, on Sunday, Dec. 2.

But Ellie found it to be instructive, comforting
- [This month in Stewardship: December](https://www.presbyterianfoundation.org/resources/newsletters/this-month-in-stewardship-december/) - For many congregations, pledge Sunday is in November, which means by now, you probably have a good idea of where you stand in terms of pledges. That means it’s time to do something a lot of people dread but is really important: the follow-up call to members who have not pledged for 2019. I’ve been
