“On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.” Isaiah 25:6, NRSV
Dear Friends in Christ,
A couple of weeks ago, we kicked off our annual stewardship campaign. We invited you to pray about and pay attention to the abundance God has placed in your life. We asked you to give thanks for the ways you have been fed through this community and how God may be inviting you to participate more fully in the life and ministry we share. We hope you trust that there is always a place for you at the Table. Come to the Banquet.
Recently you heard how we are called to share our resources and nurture our relationships. Now it is time for our response. Stewardship is our faithful reply to God’s generosity. It is gratitude put into action.
Enclosed you will find a pledge card to let us know of your intention of giving for 2027 and we invite you to prayerfully consider your response. On Friday, November 13th all parishioners are invited to “Come to the Banquet,” a chili cookoff from 5 – 8 PM in Kirk Hall sponsored by our Vestry. Your entrance ticket will be your pledge card. You may also return it before or after the event to the office, offering plate, or make your pledge online. All pledges will be gathered and blessed on the final Sunday of the campaign on November 15th.
We encourage you to come to the banquet, to make room for others, and to live into God’s abundance. When we respond together, we become the church God is calling us to be: a community with room for all.
Remember, every gift matters. Each and every commitment sustains our worship, our learning, our fellowship, and our outreach to those in need.
Come to the Banquet, beloved and nourish your mind, body and soul. Thank you for your faithful and generous response to this call.
With gratitude,
The Stewardship Committee – Judy Warner, Laura McGary, Stephanie Wagner, & Carolyn Hughes
