Stewardship

St. Paul is presently conducting our Annual Stewardship Campaign, Grateful to God, where we have to opportunity to express our grateful generosity to God for all we have been given. This annual campaign is the only time we ask you to give to support our budget, which will be presented at our Annual Congregational Meeting in January.

Members should have already received an introductory letter from our Stewardship Committee, and a second letter with a Commitment card. If you wish to pledge, but have not received a card, please contact the church office to request one. Cards will also be available in the sanctuary during worship.

The Plan for Giving portion of the card requests your name, address and contact information and the amount you plan to give. The information may be submitted to St. Paul in a number of ways, as below and as printed on the reverse side of the card you receive:

• Place the Plan for Giving portion of your Commitment card in the offering plate at Worship on Commitment Sunday, November 20, or on any

Sunday by year end.

• Drop your card in the wooden church drop box outside the front door on Sunday, November 27, December 4, 11 or 18 between 9:00AM and

2:00PM. On Tuesday to Thursday every week through the end of the year the drop box will be outside the church office entrance.

• Mail the card to the church office, to the attention of the Financial Secretary.

• E-mail your pledge to to pledge@stpauleastwindsor.org, including all the information requested on the card. You may also scan or photograph

the Plan for Giving portion of the card and attach the file to the e-mail message.

Your generosity enables us to support local charities, including a number of local hunger initiatives, and we continue to maintain our commitment to the New Jersey Synod and the ELCA, enabling the larger church to continue to combat hunger, disease, disaster and injustice in New Jersey, the USA and around the world. We ask that you consider growing in your giving as you make your 2023 financial committment to support the ministries within and beyond our congregation.

Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel.
