A Message from Rev. Katie:

Stewardship is part of a holistic approach to the life of faith.   All we have and all we are belong to God.  I challenge each of us to look at our bank accounts to see where we spend most of our money, because where our treasure lies is where our hearts will be.  See if what you say you value aligns with where your treasure is located. And then consider your personal practice of stewardship:  frugality, not wasting food, repurposing material, spending within your means, and giving to and investing in institutions--not just the church--that further the purposes of justice and peace. Thank you for your generosity and your prayerful consideration of your pledge to Emmanuel.

Grace and Peace,

The Rev. Katie Bradshaw

"Pledging" vs. "Giving"

Have you sometimes wondered why we ask for pledges at the beginning of each year?  To be sure, we appreciate gifts made even without a pledge.  But submitting your pledge up front is important to our operations.  Here's why.


Each December, the Finance Committee and Vestry make a budget for the next year.  The only way we have of predicting whether we can pay our bills and meet our outreach commitments is by knowing how much we expect to receive during the year in pledge payments.  So we add up all the pledges we receive, and that's the amount we allocate out to expenses and ministries.  When pledges aren't received, we have to assume that the gifts won't be received either.


So as you're praying about your answer to the stewardship call, make sure to tell us now what you're hoping to give.  Remember that, although your pledge is important to the budget process, a pledge is not a contract.  Your pledge is made in faith, and if circumstances change, you can increase or decrease your giving as needed.


Can you share your Time and Talents to help unlock creativity to grow our mission?  To collaborate with other people, institutions, and churches to serve more of our neighbors?


Please consider all the many opportunities at Emmanuel to roll up your sleeves, to volunteer for service, to pitch in to help make things better.


Complete our volunteer interest form at the button to the right, and someone will contact you about your indicated areas of interest.
