Encouragement from the 2024 Stewardship Committee
Beloved of All Saints’ —
We, the members of the All Saints’ Stewardship Committee for the 2024 season are enthusiastic about the great work taking place in our parish. Our church continues to move forward after the pandemic, with increasing attendance and enriching programs for adults, youth, and our wider community.
As we reflect upon our journey, we are profoundly moved by the blessings our church has been accorded through God’s grace. It’s important to understand that grace is not a personal attribute one possesses, nor is it something earned through individual merit. Rather, grace is a divine gift generously given to us by God. With grace comes not only personal opportunities for growth, but also the capacity to extend a helping hand. Grace isn’t meant to be stored or hoarded; it is meant to be shared. At All Saints’, we are witnessing how grace connects and empowers us to share ourselves and our gifts.
All Saints’ does so many wonderful things, not just for us, but through us. In turn, we can do wonderful things through All Saints’.
This is the season when our church plans for what it can accomplish in the next year. All Saints’ is, simply put, the sum of its members. Through you and with you, All Saints’ is acting to share the gifts of its members. This makes our church more impactful in the community. It also makes our church more meaningful for each of us, individually and collectively. You see, it all works out: You make All Saints’ better and All Saints’ makes you better.
Please read our Stewardship guide to learn more about what makes All Saints’ run. We ask that you recognize God’s grace and grow with us in the coming year by sharing the gifts that grace has allowed.
As stated in 1 Peter 4:10 “Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.”
Join us in generously pledging from the gifts we have received by God’s grace.
Yours in Christ,
The 2024 Stewardship Committee:
