As disciples of Jesus Christ, our call to serve others is inescapable. At the very heart of Jesus’ lived and embodied example is selfless servanthood. As a church, we understand that our formation as servants begins here in our shared community. I invite you to follow the link below which invites you to commit to serve in simple yet meaningful ways. We are a vibrant, focused, and expectant people. In order to continue our Christ-centered work in 2023 we need your help.
 
As part of your commitment, you are strongly encouraged to utilize the spiritual gifts inventory as directed (linked in the form below). This tool will allow you to know better how God has gifted you in this season. Sharing your results with us will help the faithful and intentional pursuit of serving one another and our neighbors.
 
Thank you in advance for all the ways you seek to serve God both at St. Paul’s and beyond.

This sentiment reaches directly into the crux of stewardship and our conversation over the next few weeks. I sincerely pray you will connect with us as we explore further our relationship with our resources and our Faith practices.

A crucial part of our communal responsibility to the stewardship of St. Paul’s UMC is a better understanding and transparency of our financial reality. A new tool, referred to as a “Narrative Budget”, has been produced to aid us in this important work. Please commit to join us at one of two narrative budget sessions offered over the next two weeks. If your last name begins with letters A-L, please join us this week, November 6 at 11:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. If your last name begins with M-Z, please join us next week, November 13 at 11:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. If you cannot attend on your designated week, please come to the other meeting.

Soon you will receive by mail your stewardship 2023 information. Included you will find in addition to a letter from St. Paul’s leadership, a proportional giving chart and an estimate of giving card. We ask that you prayerfully consider making a pledge to monetarily support St. Paul’s UMC in 2023. Using the estimate of giving card is the primary way we ask that you do that. We will have a special time of consecrating these pledged gifts for 2023 at the beginning of our Thanksgiving service Sunday November 20 at 10:30 a.m. For those unable to be here that special day, please return your estimate of giving card to the church office by November 21 or utilize the online form found below.
I very much look forward to making this stewardship journey with you all.
Grace and Peace,
Jeremy
