Hearts and Hands Together
Dear All Saints Family,
Despite the many challenges presented this past year, All Saints has joined hearts and hands together to sustain connection—to God, to one another, and to the greater community. As we kick off the 2022 financial stewardship season, I am grateful for your generosity. This year’s campaign, “Hearts and Hands Together,” is a reminder that God has given each of us gifts to build up the Body of Christ—the Church.
Your investments of time and money have been fruitful in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. This past year, in addition to the continuation of most existing ministries, All Saints has:
- Increased giving to Outreach by more than 25% and expanded designated recipients.
- Created Care Team and Meal Team ministries with over 50 trained volunteers serving individuals/families by providing practical, emotional, and spiritual support.
- Developed innovative “Come to the Well” meals and programs for Wednesday nights.
- Upgraded sound and camera equipment to provide consistent online and hybrid worship/educational offerings, and hired a videographer.
- Recruited national speakers for parish-wide Lenten study.
- Transformed use of the facility to incorporate outdoor worship, children’s music, and more.
- Initiated a 12-month stewardship calendar which honors ways we can be good stewards of the community, the diocese, outreach, creation, children, older adults, one another, talents, lifelong learning, financial resources, staff, and worship.
- Updated financial and human resource policies and procedures and is developing long-term buildings and grounds priority list.
- Year-to-date pledge and plate giving exceeds that of 2019, 2020, and budget for 2021.
As you prepare to call your next rector, I believe all of these items listed above, and more importantly, you, the embodied heart and hands of Christ here at All Saints, provide a solid foundation for the new rector to lead this parish to an even deeper relationship with Christ. Your support is vital to sustaining the momentum we all have worked hard to maintain during this pandemic and leadership transition.
How is God calling you to financially support Christ’s mission here at All Saints? Thank you in advance for prayerfully completing a pledge card or making your pledge on Realm. All contributions are gratefully received. Staff and program planning is significantly impacted when we know in advance what you anticipate your gifts will be. If a conversation with me or Roger Ball, our Stewardship Chair would be helpful, please let me know.
I look forward to seeing you on October 3rd for our Hearts and Hands Together Kick Off Sunday. There will be coffee and doughnut food trucks from 9:45-10:45am. Also, “Realm Ambassadors” will be present to help you sign up for the parish directory if you need assistance. As always, please pray for All Saints, perhaps most especially now for this campaign and the rector search. Join us on October 31st as we give thanks for and bless pledges received.
Yours in Christ,
Mary Bea+
