Annual Giving Campaign 2023

Dear Parishioners,

Our core values of sharing joy and hope, feeding people, and facilitating community through our God-given traits of adaptability, visibility, and vitality provide us depth and grace to continue on in a time of transition. The leadership team of StGs (Wardens, Vestry, and Staff) remain committed to using our gifts to engage more deeply in our Better Together partnership, serve and care for the marginalized, and continue to reach out to people in the community and online with the good news of Jesus Christ.

In October we sent a parish letter providing an update on our financial situation.We noted that we have been operating with a deficit that has increased throughout the year.Due to the market downturn, we don’t have the money in our investment accounts to continue to cover it. We want to continue in conversation with you so we can be as transparent as possible.

Thank you for your support of StGs in 2022, and if you haven’t yet completed your contribution, please do so as you are able through December 31^st. In addition, we encourage you to prayerfully consider what you can give to God’s work at StGs in 2023. Your financial commitment to our annual operating budget supports our daily parish life & enables us to continue to be God’s hands in the world.Giving is an act of spiritual discipline, guided by our love of God and gratitude for the abundance that God gives us. When you let us know an amount you intend to give, it is both an act of commitment to your discipline, and also a courtesy to our financial team so that we can, in good faith, continue to plan how to serve.

Please fill out this form below to let us know what financial commitment you can make to StGs in 2023. Without strong commitment from our StGs community, our budget will need to look very different in 2023. We appreciate your quick response as your pledge is instrumental to finalize the budget and plan.We plan to approve a final version at the January 10, 2023 vestry meeting.

In January we plan to discuss a capital campaign as we need to retire our debt from a previous renovation and have many other capital needs on our campus. Together, we will continue to thrive.

In Peace and Harmony,
