Dear Fellow Parishioners,

 

I am inspired – so inspired by you. When I look around our congregation and observe all that is happening, I can so easily see how God’s vision is at work here. Through our formation as disciples, the sermons we hear about love and service, and the numerous creative ideas you all bring to our outreach, in-reach, and community efforts, we truly are a vibrant and thriving community that continues to build a legacy that generations that follow us can be proud of. 

 

This year has been especially meaningful to me because even in the face of a world that sometimes seems to struggle to find purpose and meaning, we have a church full of incredibly generous, loving, and creative people who are constantly finding new ways to seek and serve Christ in everyone. Individually and collectively, we are making a significant impact on our community and the world!

 

In order to continue this good work, our annual campaign this year invites us to share two significant things with our congregation. Firstly, we are encouraged to share our gifts.  And not just treasure, but also the vital ideas, talents, and passions that God has instilled within us, nurtured by our generous hearts, and meant to be shared with the world. Secondly, we are asked to share our stories with us and with the wider world. By doing so, we contribute to the growth of God’s kingdom and expand the reach of our church’s commitment to  invite, welcome, and connect all people to God and one another. 

 

For those of you who may not be able to bring or mail your Estimate of Giving card,  we have created an online form for you to fill out and indicate how you intend to share your time, talent, and treasure with us in the coming year. Below you can also find a card with basic information about proportional giving.  I invite you to pray, to listen, and determine how you will continue making a difference in our faith community and beyond.

 

Tell out my soul! The Greatness of the Lord!
