STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN 2017-18: JOURNEY TO GENEROSITY
Life is an opportunity. Life is a journey. A journey to saying "yes" to God who calls us the Beloved. Life is a journey to love; a journey to welcome; a journey to invite; a journey to peace; a journey to generosity. It is not simply about how much we give to support the mission and ministry of our parish. The journey is about how we live our lives as the Beloved.
In about one week, you will receive your pledge packet in the mail. Over the next six weeks, pray about your pledge as you consider the appropriate amount to offer to God in thanksgiving for and in support of the mission and ministry of St. Andrew's. Bring your pledge card to worship on any Sunday or mail it to the office. On November 12th, we will celebrate Commitment Sunday when pledges will be completed and offered as an act of worship.
The vestry and stewardship team have set a challenging, yet attainable goal: receiving pledge commitments from 100% of our worshipping community-led by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the God who offers all good gifts. Let's come together on this Journey to Generosity to keep St. Andrew's a thriving part of our lives and our community.
