Stewardship 2018
Our theme for the 2018 stewardship drive is Grounded in Faith, Growing to Serve and
kicks off on October 1, 2017. The verse we have chosen from Ephesians reminds us that when
we work together in Jesus' name, we all grow and build ourselves up to serve each other and
our community with love.
This stewardship season we hope to take a look at where we are individually and as a group in
our faith journey and how our individual journeys lead us to serve those who need it in our
lives and in our community. Make sure you join us for coffee hour on October 15th when Lynn
Schauer-Bewley will lead us in a simple art project exploring this theme. (She assures me that
no artistic ability is needed!) Watch your bulletin throughout the month of October for
reflections from members of the Stewardship committee on this theme as well as following us
on Facebook, St. Andrew’s website and the narthex monitor.
As always your giving card will be enclosed in the stewardship mailing that you will receive in
the beginning of October and our hope is that these will all be returned to the Church office or
the offering plate, no later than October 31st. This will give our finance committee plenty of
time to formulate a budget for the 2018 calendar year.
October 31st, 2017 will be the official ingathering for stewardship, and once again St. John's
will be joining us for worship on that day. The stewardship committee will be hosting a light
lunch for all members of both parishes, so plan on staying for soup, bread, dessert and coffee.
The stewardship committee is comprised of Missy Naylor, Liz Depew, Lynn Schauer-Bewley
and myself, so if you have any questions about the process, just touch base with one of us.
Remember our whole community is stronger when we work together and build ourselves up
through our love for each other!
