Dear siblings in Christ,
I wanted to share a brief update with you on our 2025 Stewardship Campaign.
(In case you missed it, from now until November 3rd, we are asking you to pray about making a pledge to give to The Table this coming year. You can read more about it here.)
Stewardship of our resources is a vital aspect of our discipleship to Jesus and our life together as a community. Despite the craziness of the past several years, The Table has been able to thrive as a church largely because of the generosity and faithfulness of those who choose to share themselves and their resources for the common good of our life in Christ.
Our Vestry has created a draft of our 2025 budget, and we’re looking to raise $301,000 in pledges for 2025. This is a 21% increase from our expected 2024 donations of $238,275. Most of the increase has to do with taking stewardship of our new church building (with assistance from the diocese). We’re looking forward to finding ways for the building to be a blessing and asset for the surrounding community, both spiritually and practically.
We’ve already received 8 pledges so far, for a total of $72,300, which means we’re already 24% to our goal!
Please be in prayer about your commitment for 2025, and if you’re ready to pledge, use the button below to do so.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Oh, and check out the Giving FAQ page for a bit about how we think about these things at The Table.
Thank you for sharing in the life and mission of our community! As I shared this past Sunday, when we share ourselves and our resources for the good of our common life together, it’s a concrete act of resistance to Mammon, and a material participation in God’s abundant economy of gift and grace. What an incredible gift to have this life together in Christ!
Grace and peace,
Fr. Ben
P.S. Don’t forget to make your pledge by November 3rd (All Saints’ Sunday). It helps us plan realistically for the coming year. 🙂
