A friendly reminder to all members to submit their pending dues and any contributions for 2022 as soon as possible. Per decision of our general body the set amount for voluntary contribution for a family is $85 per month or $1020 annually. Additionally, each family is expected at minimum to contribute $50 annually towards the diocese to meet the diocese dues per kalpana from our church. We thank all our members for their wholehearted support thus far and we request your cooperation with these contributions so that we can close the financial year smoothly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"background-color: #eae7e7;\">Note on PayPal Contributions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li>Link to PayPal Giving Fund &#8211; Detroit Mar Thoma Church:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/us\/fundraiser\/charity\/1666494\">https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/us\/fundraiser\/charity\/1666494<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Please note that when using the PayPal Giving Fund, members cannot designate the category of their contribution therefore once completing a transaction through PayPal Giving Fund, members must provide details to trustees so that contributions may be accounted properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"background-color: #eae7e7;\">Refreshments<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li>Thanks to the refreshment committee for arranging today\u2019s refreshments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"background-color: #eae7e7;\">Acknowledgements<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Thanks to Rev.
