STEWARDSHIP COMMITMENT SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8

Dear Beloved Members of St. Gregory's,

This Sunday, we invite the congregation to make a pilgrimage to the altar and present your financial commitment, your pledge to support God's mission through St. Gregory's. This is a powerful, sacramental moment in which we express our gratitude to God and our joyful willingness to partner with God in "Transforming Hearts and Community Through Jesus' Love."

I deeply believe in our Anglican/Episcopal way of following Jesus as Lord. It is life-giving for us and for the world. We are a thriving congregation, truly living out the theme of this year's stewardship campaign: "Rooted in Faith, Living in Love."

It is the generous giving of this congregation, blessed by the Holy Spirit, that makes all of this possible. Thank you for, as Mother Mary Ellen says in this year's stewardship video, "stretching a little more for Jesus!"

I also want to thank our stewardship speakers for their moving and inspiring words and faithful witness. If you missed any of their reflections, they are available on our website, along with our beautiful stewardship video.

St. Gregory's is making a difference in the lives of many, and your generosity is an essential part of that ministry. Thank you for your faithful support and commitment.

Faithfully,

Fr. Andrew+

Rev. Andrew J. Sherman, Rector
