To Fellow Members of Christ Church:
Everything you do after proclaiming your belief in Jesus is stewardship. Everything. On behalf of Craig Umphlett the Vestry Liaison for Stewardship, I ask that you prayerfully examine what you are giving to the Church. I encourage you to pledge an amount that reflects your own desire to serve and worship God. As Paul instructed the Corinthians, each one of us should give what we have decided in our hearts to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion. Rather, the strength within ourselves and within our parish leads us outwardly, spreading our faith into nearby neighborhoods, the city, and even globally. Christ Church is a welcoming, inclusive congregation, centered in liturgy and focused on formation and discipleship. We do this using our unique gifts, talents, and skills. For some, this is through active participation; for others it is through financial support. For most it is a combination of the two.
