Forward Together, In Faith, In Hope, In Love
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” Hebrews 10:24
As we move “Forward Together”..... “in Love” at St. Michael, we do so as part of a Congregation which has modeled generosity for one another, our Community neighbors, and the broader World around us. This generosity has been brought about, in a large part, by the gratitude we have for God’s abundant gifts and blessings in our lives. This gratitude has created an atmosphere of joy within our Congregation. This joy, in turn, has inspired us “to spur one another on toward love and good deeds” with the faithful giving of our time, talents and treasure.
Whether we are spurred on toward supporting community based, charitable organizations through the work of our Social Ministry Team or toward all the good works demonstrated by the Ministries, Committees, Teams and others at St. Michael, we are faithfully following God’s Call to love one another and our neighbors.
And we put our love into action especially with our financial gifts, which enable the work of the St. Michael Ministries to take place. This faithful generosity brings to mind the words found in 1 John 3:18 “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth”.
With each new day approaching, we cannot know for certain what lies ahead on our journey together at St. Michael. However, we move forward assured of God's Presence, Faithfulness and Love. And throughout this journey, God calls us to share our blessings with others. By responding to His call, we do what love requires of us- nurturing, sustaining, and growing the Ministries and Mission of our Church.
As our Fall Stewardship Campaign draws to a conclusion, we again ask you to reflect on your personal giving situation, and prayerfully consider your financial commitment to St. Michael for the coming year. If you have not done so already, please complete your pledge card and then: mail back in the pre-addressed envelope, return to the Church Office or drop in the Sunday Offering Plate in the Narthex. You may also choose the convenient option of completing your pledge online here through this secure link.
Thank you,
