news and notices
stewardship appeal 2023
Because of your generosity, St. John’s has been able to continue to pursue the mission and ministry of God as we seek to give grace in God’s world. Because of your generosity during a difficult time, we have been able to not only survive as a church during COVID, but thrive.
Stewardship and giving are a natural outpouring of thanksgiving, a continuation of our spiritual practice as Christians. Stewardship helps all of us understand the tangible way we are connected to caring for each other at St. John’s and for our neighbors. A way to step into this prayerful and intentional stewardship of our personal money is to make an annual pledge of some amount to St. John’s.
Ingathering Sunday is November 13th, 2022 this year. That is the day we hope to gather the congregation’s pledges and prayers for the coming year. If you wish to make a pledge in advance of that date, you may do so below. Thank you for your support of St. John’s.
