From the Stewardship Committee – September 25, 2020
The 2021 Stewardship campaign is underway and pledge cards will be mailed Monday, October 5th, with a request for a response by Monday, November 2nd. The upcoming year will be full of challenges and opportunities as we deal with the ripple effects of the coronavirus and as we open a new chapter in our church life with new clergy. The campaign focus this year will be on two things: receiving a completed pledge card from all who wish to pledge and an increase in giving. Conservative budgeting addressing lower River Room income along with the excitement of completing of the Rector search will require our pledge income to increase by 10%. Our listening sessions, the recent parish profile, and the strategic planning process all outline a vision of a church community that we want to become, and the Vestry-directed preliminary 2021 budget, with the 10% increase in pledge income, provides for that end.
The Stewardship communication will outline three ways to give: pledges can be made by creating a payment online at www.saintpauls.org/giving/, establishing a recurring payment from your bank, or by delivering a check by mail or to the collection plate on Sunday.
