Nov 13 Update:
Next Sunday, November 20th, we will gather the pledges of financial support for our Parish for 2017 and submit them as an offering during our worship service on that day. If you have already turned in your pledge form – Thank you! If you have misplaced your pledge form, please call the church office or see Jim Rudd, our Stewardship Chairperson.
Pledges are not contracts. They are statements of intent made in faith. They are a great help to our Vestry in their planning and can always be revised if there are changes in your life.

We are asked to use our abundant gifts with which we have been blessed to do God’s work in this world. We are expected to grow those gifts and use them wisely as we attend to the needs of those less fortunate than ourselves. During this Stewardship Campaign, may we give in worship and appreciation to God for our many blessings and as a statement of our faith that He will continue to provide for our own needs
Stewardship is about our relationship to God as stewards of the world God has created. Each of us has been given a definitive trust of a portion of God’s world – an abundance of gifts of time, talent and treasure with which God has blessed us. Jesus said, “From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required” (Luke 12: 48).
Please submit your pledge by November 20, 2016 to allow it to be included with others at our worship service on that day.
