Stewardship Campaign Update
Pledge cards are due in to the Parish Office. If you have yet to complete a pledge card for 2011, please do so this week. The Vestry is trying to complete the Every member Canvass, and we are well below where we need to be to meet our 230-pledge goal. Pledge cards and envelopes are available in the narthex and can be placed in the alms basin during the offertory or mailed back to the Parish Office. Saint Timothy’s depends mainly on the giving of her faithful parishioners to meet the needs of the parish, so please know how important and helpful your pledges are.
Our goal is to score a touchdown on Touchdown Sunday, October 31st. This means we will have received 230 pledges with the pledged amount increased by 10% over last year’s amount. We can do this if we pledge just $3 more per week for 2011. The Vestry will be contacting all members of the Parish who have yet to pledge throughout the remainder of the campaign to see if we can’t score a “touchdown” by October 31st. Let’s do it!
As part of our Stewardship Campaign, we will also have a series of speakers from the Parish leading up to “Touchdown Sunday”. Peter Bourey (October 10th), Samantha Mason (October 17th), Emma Elsea (October 24th) and Sara Smothers (October 31st) will give a brief stewardship talk before the sermon on each of those Sundays, explaining why St. Timothy’s is important to them and why supporting St. Timothy’s ought to be important to all of us.
