2020 Stewardship Campaign Update
So far, more than 100 parishioners have pledged to our annual campaign. Thank you to them, and thank you in advance to those who will be sending their pledges in, as we continue to solicit commitments this week and through the end of the year. Our goal is $350,000 in pledges, to expand our outreach and ministries according to our mission: to make the love of God more widely known in Nantucket. One way St. Paul’s does this is through its clergy—not just with wonderful regular church services, but also with pastoral care and visits to home-bound parish members and those in assisted living. We cannot put a dollar value on that work—bringing the love of our Lord to those in need—or quantify it with specific numbers. But we know it makes a difference in our parish and community and know that we can support it with our own time and resources.
You can mail us your pledge card at any time by the end of the year, as well as contribute online at our website through a secure link. We also have extra brochures and pledge cards on the table at the back of the church and in the church entryway. In the event that you choose to pay your pledge with a gift of stock, please inform the Treasurer of the number of shares and the name of the security that you are donating. The recipient of your gift does not reveal the name of the donor. We ask you to do this since our Broker - Commonwealth Securities - informs us only of the securities we receive, not the name of the donor. Once again, you can adjust your pledge or gift up or down if your circumstances change. For more information on giving to St. Paul’s, please visit us at http://stpaulschurchnantucket.org/giving/.
Again, thank you, and please give generously.
