Stewardship Campaign underway

Let's journey together


Our annual stewardship campaign began last Sunday. Stewardship packets have been distributed.


Please return your pledge card as soon as possible, but no later than Sunday, December 1 - the first Sunday in Advent.


Pledges can also be made on-line through our website at https://www.episcopal-bluesprings.org/pledge-on-line


Next year will be a challenge for our small church financially. Our expenses have increased substantially, while we have lost several beloved members. Your giving to and support of Resurrection will be more important than ever. We need to ensure our church continues to thrive.


We know generosity is an individual journey, Giving to the church is a powerful way to share your blessings and make a positive impact in our community. Not only does generosity support important programs and outreach, but it also enriches your own spirit and fosters a sense of connection and purpose. The rewards of giving extend beyond material support; they cultivate joy, gratitude, and a deeper sense of belonging.


This is a journey we make together, a Walk in Love!

O Creator God, giver of every good gift, look graciously on us in the Diocese of West Missouri and guide us as we discern our call of a new bishop. O Jesus, be present in our discernment, and lead us to a shepherd who will invite us to live out the Gospel every day.
