Stewardship - Pledging your Time Talent and Treasure

With the beginning of a new year comes an opportunity to pause and reflect on the past year, as well as to anticipate with hope all the possibilities the new year brings. For most of us, we are eager to embrace a year of healing, hope, and health. It is with this hope and anticipation that your Leadership Council welcomes you to join our 2022 Stewardship Campaign--January 23 - February 20.

This past year has been a challenge for Mary of Magdala, ECC, to remain flexible and open to how best serve our community and fulfill our mission. We continue to focus on providing meaningful worship opportunities and adapting our social justice efforts based on changing needs.   

The financial support we’ve received in 2021 has allowed us to continue with our 3-year financial plan — and for this we are extremely humbled and grateful.

But equally important to Mary of Magdala are the volunteers. We estimate over 50% of the hours dedicated to ministries at Mary of Magdala and our partnership is completed by our volunteer’s Time and Talent. Contributing Time and Talent is vital and a major component of the Stewardship campaign, as we are called by the Spirit to grow our mission of love and service.We ask you to prayerfully consider contributing above your current monthly contribution and/or consider the many volunteer opportunities (See link to list of volunteer opportunities.) We are in awe and gratitude for you and for our covenant with Trinity Lutheran and St. Paul’s. Together we can become what our name confers–an ecumenical partnership.

Please complete the pledge and return it during our annual campaign January 23- February 20, 2022. For volunteering please let us know your interest by emailing us at marymagdalafc@gmail.com.

In Christ’s love and mission, 

Your Leadership Council
