Preparing the Way: Stewardship Campaign
Beloved All Saints’ Family,
The theme of this year’s stewardship campaign is Preparing the Way, which reflects both the enduring strength of our church and the exciting plans for the future.
Signs of All Saints’ dynamism and growth are everywhere: we paid off our diocesan loan early, our summer capital campaign exceeded its goal, and overall giving remains robust. We also recently received word of a major grant to support our work fighting hunger in the county through our Neighbors Table ministry.
Parish life is vibrant, Sunday attendance is solid, and participation in the Sunday adult forum is lively and growing. The same holds true for our Y’all Saints gatherings and our newly launched programming for youth along with our ongoing EYC program. The EfM course is filled with eager-to-learn disciples, and the Wednesday morning Bible Study is thriving.
As you know, we are preparing to welcome our beloved Mother Teri Daily back as rector starting in November. She and her spouse, Dave, are beyond excited to return home to this community, and Teri’s steady leadership, experience, and commitment will help guide our continued growth.
Please consider making a pledge for 2027! If you are already pledging and if you are able, consider increasing your commitment for the coming year. If you have never pledged before, build the habit starting now. No pledge is too small; the most important part is the spiritual practice of committing to give regularly to a community that gives so much. The pledge card in-gathering is scheduled for Sunday, November 1. It’s gonna be a great year ahead, be sure to join along!
