New Members Class — November 20, 2016 Today we welcome seven persons into the membership of Marble Collegiate Church. Mr. Kenyon Clemons Mr. Brian Dillon Ms. Lisa Florio Ms. Olga Gomez

Mr. Nathan Hancock Mr. Stephen Johnson Ms. Gwendolyn Widell

WELCOME, NEW MEMBERS! WE PRAY GOD’S BLESSINGS ON YOUR JOURNEY.

Spotlight TODAY!

WE WELCOME GRAMMY-WINNING SOPRANO ANGELA BROWN TO MARBLE! We are honored to have Angela Brown as soloist during Worship. Following the service, Dr. Brown interviews Angela during Talk Back about how her faith, career, and the arts all intersect.

With a charming personality larger than life, Angela Brown unites opera, pops, and gospel in one sensational voice. A featured artist on the two-time, Grammy Award® winning recording “Ask Your Mama,” Angela’s international reputation continues to grow. Her highly successful Metropolitan Opera debut in the title role of Aida captured instant attention from international print and broadcast media and catapulted Angela onto the world’s prestigious opera and symphonic stages. While opera is the main catalyst for her career, Angela’s performance experience includes everything from star hostess on stage, noted interpreter of African-American spirituals to producer and creator of Opera…from a Sistah’s Point of View, an inspired show that has gained international notoriety for bringing opera to the masses in the form of an edgy, yet educational, concert presentation. Throughout her career, Angela has joined forces with symphonic pops legends Marvin Hamlisch, Jack Everly, and Erich Kunzel while traveling the world for classical performances at Lincoln Center, Paris Opera, Vienna State Opera, Capetown Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Edmonton Opera, Calgary Philharmonic, Shanghai World Expo, Moscow Performing Arts Center, and more. But, she always welcomes a return home to her beloved Indianapolis for appearances with Indianapolis Symphony for their acclaimed Yuletide pops extravaganza, the Indianapolis Opera, or to sing the National Anthem for the Colts or Pacers.

Thanksgiving Brunch, 12:15pm Join us as we give thanks for our unique and diverse faith community with a bountiful feast. $20, adults; $10, children. No reservation needed. Marble Loft.

MASTERWORKS HERALDING THE PRINCE OF PEACE Special Preludes during Advent — 10:45am During Advent, arrive early for Worship for this special time of quiet meditation and beautiful music in the Sanctuary. Generously underwritten by Lynda Packard in honor of her parents, Lynn and John Packard, and with heartfelt thanks to the Marble Community. Sunday, November 27 — Carols for Oboe, Flute, and Bassoon –5–

Thank you to those of you who joined us in-person or online on Stewardship Sunday as we dedicated our pledge cards in Worship! Through Marble, we are called by Jesus to make the world a different place. One of the ways we can do that is through our annual pledge. The commitment you can make – the pledge you can offer – is to be part of the process of growing and learning and worshiping and serving and giving together. As we begin 2017, if you have not yet done so, please reflect on how the Spirit moves you in your life at Marble, and consider joining some 600 regular givers who by filling out a pledge card, let us know in advance of their financial commitment for the year ahead. THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF MARBLE COLLEGIATE CHURCH AND FOR SUPPORTING ITS MISSION AND MINISTRY WITH YOUR PRAYERS, PRESENCE AND FINANCIAL GIFTS! Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) about Annual Giving What is a pledge? A pledge is a promise to give back financially to support Marble’s mission and ministries. It is not binding, but rather an act of discipleship and a spiritual discipline. How do I make a pledge? You can pledge by filling out a pledge card (found in pew racks, Reception and Marble Loft) and place in offering plate, or on the Giving Kiosk in the Marble Loft, or go to MarbleChurch.org/Give and click on “Make Your Pledge.” You can also call the Business Office, 212-686-2771, ext. 248. How can I pay my pledge? You can contribute to your pledge via offering envelopes or by setting up a monthly recurring credit card or bank transfer debit. Or, you can use gifts of securities such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Gifts of appreciated stock can offer a two-fold tax saving. First, you avoid paying any capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the security. Second, you receive a charitable contribution deduction for the full fair market value at the time of the gift. Please review these tax benefits with your tax adviser to determine specific benefits to you. I’ve pledged in the past. Do I need to do it again? If you are an online pledger, we will automatically renew your recurring pledge, unless you tell us otherwise. If you pledge via cash or check, you will continue to receive offering envelopes. For your security, we ask that you fill out a new pledge card (with current giving information) so that we know your intentions for the coming year, prayerfully considering your gift of gratitude. What do my pledge dollars actually do? Your pledge dollars do so much at Marble! Worship with its glorious music and live streaming when you’re away; Prayer Circle; WeWo; Teaching to provide opportunities for Adult Education; Children’s Ministry; Small Groups (in-house and online); and Caring Ministries, Mission Outreach, GIFTS, Women’s or Men’s Ministry and so many others. And all are there whenever you have need. We have so much to be thankful for and share with others who are in need of the same!
