Every Tithe Matters...Every Pledge Counts!
Sunday, September 21st will mark the beginning of the 2009-2010 Stewardship Campaign for Trinity Cathedral. This year my wife Lynn and I have big shoes to fill following the work of Gus and Heather Brabham, Co-chairs of the past two successful stewardship campaigns. We are excited about our role and plan to share our excitement with the congregation in many different ways in hopes of ensuring prayerful generosity.
Dean Linder has graciously agreed to preach on Stewardship Sunday, so please mark September 21st on your calendars, and use ink! Our campaign will conclude on Sunday, November 2nd, All Saint’s Sunday, with the blessing of the pledge cards. With proper participation, our goal of $3,000,000 should be readily attainable. After all, we are bound by our Christian duty to give generously so that everyone can benefit from our support, both near and far. As we all know, stewardship supports the clergy, staff, and daily operations of our cathedral. Equally important, the stewardship budget keeps programs funded that make a direct impact on the lives of the children, the elderly, the poor, the needy, the homeless, and the uneducated. With the term ‘budget cuts’ being so prevalent in today’s world, we cannot afford to attach that term to Trinity Cathedral.
Stewardship is a time of generosity, obligation, and sacrifice. Stewardship MUST remain insulated from economic fluctuations, personal goals, and even professional responsibilities. We must follow the Spirit of God. I know you ALL will want to be a part of this exciting campaign.
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19 – 21)
Every Tithe Matters, Every Pledge Counts
