Stewardship 2024
"Building Community"
Each Fall, St. John's conducts a Stewardship Campaign to secure pledges of financial support from Parish members and friends for the coming year. The campaign enables the Parish to prepare a budget and plan for next year.
​
Stewardship pledge requests have been mailed out. We ask that they be returned by Dec. 3rd.
​
Our Parish has many gifts to share among ourselves and the community. Here is one parishioner's perspective.
​
"All things come of thee oh Lord…and of thine own
have we given thee."
This simple prayer, usually said when the offertory plate is brought to the altar at Mass, really says it all. Each of us are drawn to be here for different reasons at different points in our life. Although I was not born and raised in this parish, I have been a member for 35 years. I have given financially as my circumstances allowed and I have strived to be generous with my time and talents by participating in our fundraising activities, serving on vestry, being a lay reader, subdeacon and on altar guild. We each have different capacities for giving and all giving is important and appreciated. At this time, we are asking that each Parish member spend some time really thinking and praying before turning in their pledge card. Our operating budget is as lean as it gets! There is not one frivolous penny in it! We don’t have big endowments to sustain us. We rely on the generosity of our members. So, this year please do not underestimate the importance of your contribution. Whether you can make a financial commitment for the first time or if you can possibly increase an existing commitment…even if only by the cost of one cup of coffee a week, for instance, it is greatly appreciated. I for one want to do all I can to assure that our little parish remains a thriving part of our community and a place where we can come together to worship God and celebrate our faith. Thank you, Carol Belcher
