Stewardship Sunday Reflection
by Tom Gimbel at the Oct. 4th 10:30 am service
|
|
Churches are amazing places and ours in among the most amazing in doing God’s work in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So here we are on a beautiful fall Stewardship Sunday, seemingly like so many fall days in years before. But no, it is different this time, it is different this year. The COVID pandemic has changed lives, ruined livelihoods and changed history forever. And in the midst of this pandemic our stewardship of resources for our church and community, which are so much a part of each other, are starting the last quarter of 2020. Today we begin our stewardship final drive to help our church and our community continue to persevere and continue to grow. Because of COVID 19, St. John’s canceled its Spring Gala, Country Fair and Opera Night. But the ministries these events support have greater needs than ever. Revenue to pay for needy causes is down, but people still need to eat and have shelter every night. During this time, annual revenue to St John’s has declined by more than 50%, despite all the good work of our Rector and staff, who continued Sunday services with online video sermons and later in the summer, a combination of outdoor services in the Memorial Garden and indoor services in the church. Now, we all need to step up and do what we can to help St John’s and help our community causes. Not all of us are financially limited during the pandemic. Some have actually saved money on lack of travel or no vacations. This year our church and its mission need us more than ever. St John’s is here for us, for our Sunday worship, for our children and our children’s children, for Sunday School, for beautiful music, for all of the events of life- baptisms, weddings, pastoral care, celebrations of life and even for our burials. St John’s is here for the community and beyond and we need to be here for St John’s, this year more than ever- to support our church and to support its work in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Soon you will be receiving letters from St John’s asking for your support. Please realize how much is needed this year in particular, and do the best you can for your church. Thank you on behalf of St Johns of Lattingtown for your thoughtful consideration. Amen.
