2027 Stewardship Campaign
Dear Members and Friends,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As we begin this year’s stewardship campaign, we invite you to reflect on the many ways God has blessed our lives and our parish community. Stewardship is more than an annual pledge: it is a spiritual practice of gratitude, generosity, and faithful discipleship. Everything we have is a gift from God, and our response is to offer back a portion of our time, talents, and treasures in thanksgiving.
Each week, our parish is blessed by the faithful ministry of its members. Through worship, Christian formation, outreach, pastoral care, music, fellowship, and service, we share God’s love with one another and with our neighbors. These ministries are made possible through the generosity of those who call this church their spiritual home.
As we look toward the coming year, we ask you to prayerfully consider your financial commitment to our parish. Your pledge provides the foundation for planning our ministries, supporting our clergy and staff, caring for our buildings, and extending Christ’s love into the wider community. Every pledge, regardless of size, is a meaningful expression of faith and helps strengthen our shared mission.
We encourage you to spend time in prayer, asking how God is calling you to participate in the life and ministry of our church. If your circumstances allow, we hope you will consider increasing your pledge as a way of supporting the growth of our ministry and responding to God’s abundant blessings.
In the coming weeks, you will hear stories of how your generosity makes a difference in the life of our parish. We hope these reflections will inspire you as we journey together in faith.
Thank you for your continued love, commitment, and generosity. We are deeply grateful for all that you do to make our parish a welcoming, faithful, and vibrant community. Together, with God’s guidance, we look forward to all that God will accomplish through us in the year ahead.
May God bless you and your family.
Faithfully,
The Stewardship Committee:
