​● I give to Payson Park Church because I really value having a place where our whole family – three generations! - can be together and connect while also being part of a larger circle of caring, and because I want Payson Park to be that kind of place for other families too.  Plus, we all LOVE the music!       ֎ Kate Rodriguez-Clark
 
● I love the story in Luke17: 11-19 of the ten lepers who were made clean by Jesus, and only one, a Samaritan, returned thanks. I am most grateful for our three ministers' inspiring and ENCOURAGING sermons and pastoral care of us all, Bible study, TLC, uplifting music, intergenerational activities, such as hiking, theatre, and choirs, mission and social service projects, and Community OUTREACH, that I want to be that leper who is returning a PLEDGE of GRATITUDE for all the ways that  Payson Park Church, UCC, has blessed us.        ֎ Linda J. Knight
 
● I support Payson Park Church because our Worship & Fellowship is building & strengthening our faith through uplifting sermons & music. I give because our church accepts folks from all walks of life with Compassion & Love. Through our diverse outreach programs, such as Sacred Hikes, First Fridays, Fall Festival, Compassion Camp, Christmas theater play to support the homeless, we are building a neighborhood where everyone is WELCOMED.  I pledge each year to be a beacon of kindness and a glimmer of hope to the most vulnerable in our wider community. Payson Park Church radiates that LIGHT that can be felt by others with open arms and warmth that can change the world one step at a time.          ֎ Hilandia Neuta-Rendon
 
● I give to Payson Park Church for two reasons. One is to support its mission & outreach programs to support the hungry, the homeless, and refugees; the other is to support its life as a STRONG, vibrant & supportive Christian community.   ֎ Tom Best
