DEAR FELLOW PARISHIONERS:

The stewardship season is upon us. At this time, we all need to prayerfully consider what we will give in support of our church – give of our “time, talents and treasure” – things that all are provided to us by God.

We look forward to sharing many good things with you over the next several months as Christ Church endeavors to find a new permanent Rector. We will all have a chance to make comments and express our priorities. It will be especially important for us to show the depth of our financial support for our church. Our goal of 100% family participation will undoubtedly help show our commitment to our church. We believe it will make a positive impression on candidates the search committee will interview.

Secondly, we invite you to prayerfully evaluate your level of giving and consider a step-up in your annual offering. This will allow our programs and services to flourish and keep pace with the needs of the Parish. Our offerings as our gift to God are included in our weekly services at the “Offertory” portion of each Sunday service.

Our multiple and varied ministries have accomplished many positive things within our parish and our wider community. This has been made possible by your coming to Church, by your participating in Bible study and our ministries, by your volunteering your time and by your financial support. We thank you for that support – for all your support – for our beloved Christ Church and all our ministries.

Gratefully, The Stewardship Committee

Paul Cox, Brenda Wood and John Itell
