Food Insecurity and the threat of eviction are both on the rise in the Twin Cities. We are needing an increase in donations to match the need. Also, please take food if you need it. This is a project in the spirit of mutual aid. Fill the pantry when you can, receive from the pantry when you need it.
A Message from the Stewardship 2023 Leaders
Stewardship: The careful and responsible managements of something entrusted to one’s care
Yes –St. Mary’s Stewardship Campaign is underway! During Announcement time on Sundays, starting October 9, you’ll be hearing from Vestry members and Stewardship Co-Chairs about “Why we pledge to St. Mary’s this year.” And yes, we’re inviting you to join us in discerning how we can best be stewards of our mission, community and facilities here at St. Mary’s. Please start thinking of how you can best step up to support St. Mary’s to be all we want for ourselves, each other, the surrounding community and the world. And yes, there are several ways to make your pledge:
- Paper copies of the pledge form will be in the pews starting this Sunday so you can fill out a form and place it in the offering plate at the back of the sanctuary.
- Stewardship information and pledge card on the website have been updated so you can make your pledge on line.
- You can request that a paper pledge form be sent to you by contacting any of the three co-chairs shown below.
And yes, we thank you for prayerfully considering your financial pledge to St. Mary’s and you’ll be hearing more from us over the next several weeks.
