Faith Filled Gratitude

Thank you to everyone who has submitted their Giving Goal cards in this year’s Faith-Filled Generosity fall campaign. As a parish we’ve done really well, though there are still a few remaining to be received. So far, we’ve seen 92 cards totaling $253,929. That’s exactly the number of GG goals received at this time last year and the amount is only $6,000 less. Considering the uncertainty of this past year, that is a significant amount and represents the generous spirit of our parish during this time of pandemic crisis.

As you will notice in the Church’s Narrative Budget for this past year, we’ve done a lot despite the Covid-19 restrictions. This coming year should see a lot more with the mutual ministry program being undertaken and shared with our new priest. The mission and ministries of St. Stephen’s should see a significant increase both in our in-reach and outreach programs. We’ve been waiting for this for a few years and now is our time to shine. A copy of the Narrative Budget can be found in our new Church Web Site at: https://www.ststephensmidd.org/stewardship/giving

Should you have forgotten or mislaid your Giving Goal Cards, they can still be obtained from the church office (802) 388-7200 or by downloading the card here. The easiest way is to simply email our Pledge Secretary Beth Stanway and submit your goal (the pledge card is pre-entered into the body of the email!).

We are your stewards, O God. Guide us with your grace.
