Parish Leadership

ENDOWMENT COMMITTEE

Stewardship, our faithful tending of the things that have been put into our care, is one of the primary practices of the people of faith. The creation story we tell in Genesis, a story about who we are and how we live in the world, offers us a vision of humankind receiving bountiful blessings from our Creator, and then giving in our turn, by caring for what we have been given. Jesus tells us that just as God gives good gifts to us, so we know how to give to others.

“Good gifts: receiving and giving” is the theme of our pledge campaign this year. While stewardship is a year-round and lifelong practice, a pledge campaign is a moment in time, when we consider what we have received and what we may be called to give in our turn. Stewardship is the ongoing practice of offering our time and our talents as well as our treasure. At this time of year, we ask you to consider how you will offer your treasure in financial support of your parish and its mission and ministries.

We ask you, in the weeks to come, to consider the cycle of receiving and giving in your own life, and in particular, in your life at St. Andrew’s. What have you received, and what are you continuing to receive? What have you given, and what and how do you continue to give?

After prayerful consideration, we ask you to make a financial commitment to support the mission and ministries of St. Andrew’s in 2023. Your commitment now allows your parish leaders to plan for the coming year – a year of reconnecting, renewing, and re-envisioning who we are and who we are called to become. Together, we are discovering a new future in a changed and changing world. Together, we are discovering that even in the midst of change, the sacred cycle of receiving and giving endures.

BUILDING OUR VISION COMMITTEE

For the Building Our Vision Committee (BOV) this theme fits with the goals of the Committee, which are to give tangible expression to the vision and mission of St. Andrew’s by creating opportunities for socially and economically diverse populations and providing a place of sanctuary, safety, and rest. During the time BOV has worked to fulfill its goals, it has received innumerable good gifts from members of this parish and has worked to provide gifts to those in need of a sanctuary in the city. The gifts of our fellow parishioners during this stewardship campaign will allow BOV to continue its work in reaching the goals each of us support.
