Grateful for each of you, I write to report that six weeks into our fund raising for our 2023 operating budget 75 households already have come forth with pledges and gifts of $224,246. This represents 40% of what the Vestry believes will be our operating expenses next year. If you have not yet determined what your gift will be, please consider prayerfully the particular importance of St. Andrew’s for yourself and for those around you. These times are not easy for any of us. We can lift up one another as God lifts us all. Our individual decisions become commitments; our commitments as singular gifts become greater as we offer them together.
Faithfully,
Mary Campbell
Chair Stewardship Committee
