Dear Saints of Living Saviour,
Grace to you and peace.
As you heard recently in worship, we are excited to be kicking off our 2026 Stewardship Appeal. Our theme is “Celebration of God’s Generosity.”
Over the next several weeks, through ministry minutes, brochures and bulletin inserts, you will learn more about the impact our ministries are already having, both within and outside the walls of our building. You will also learn how growing in your generosity will allow us to enter into a time of strategic planning – listening to our neighbors’ needs and paying attention to those things God is already up to, as well as considering how we might faithfully join in or “bridge the gap” (with the goal of developing a 3-year strategic plan); better stewarding our facilities; and continuing to raise up and equip our volunteers and staff.
As part of our Celebration of God’s Generosity 2026 Stewardship Appeal, you will be invited to intentionally reflect on and celebrate God’s gracious generosity, how you are called to joyfully respond, and to consider increasing your offering for the coming year.
On Celebration Sunday, November 2, 2025, we will observe Stewardship Sunday by presenting our Statement of Intent cards during worship. Then, on November 9, we’ll share and celebrate the initial results of our appeal in worship.
Please pray about this request and do your best to respond generously as our Lord leads you.
Thank you so much for being a part of this congregation of joy and belonging. Please pray for our common work together as we continue to strive to live and love like Jesus.
God’s Peace and Much Love,
Rev. Sara Ilderton (Pastor) & Rev. Linda Hatcher (Council President)
