2024 Pledges & Stewardship

Walk in Love,
as Christ loved us…

COGS 2024 Stewardship Campaign
November 3, 2024 – November 24, 2024

Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God.
~ Ephesians 5:2

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

We are grateful to have been asked to lead our Stewardship Campaign this year and to spend these weeks with intention as we enter a season of giving. Our theme this year is Walk in Love, and it calls us to remember that our greatest gift in community is how we align, come together in purpose and mission. When we walk in the same direction, we can do so many things with generosity and love.

During this season we talk a lot about money, about our budget. Yes, those things are important, they are the way we fund Good Shepherd to keep it vital. Another focus is on what our gifts can do for the world. Jesus calls us to heal, visit, feed, accompany, protect, advocate, love our neighbor, and share our time, talent, and treasure.

Each of us hears this call differently, just as each of us has been blessed by God differently. Our talents have been gifts freely given to us in Creation so that we may share them with a world in need. How will you feel God’s call to walk in love this year? How will you determine how you will make the time to share your gifts with God’s people in our church and further?

With this letter, you are receiving the invitation to make your intention to Good Shepherd for the year to come. Before you fill out the enclosed pledge card, we ask that you pray about it, discuss it with your family, and discern how God is calling you to share your gifts.

Our campaign will end on November 24th . Before then, please mail the card into the church, drop it in the offering plate, or return it on November 24th as all cards will be blessed during the services. If one of us can offer support or answer any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Walking in Love with you,

Judy Warner, Robin Megel, Carolyn Hughes, and Alan MacKay
