Dear people of St Luke's,
I want to thank the 145 parishioners who have returned their pledge card for in-gathering Sunday. To this day we have received $418,750 in pledges. That's awesome! I know that many of you are going to send your cards between now and Christmas, and I thank you in advance.
If you have lost your pledge card, we still have some available at the office and in the Gathering Hall. You can also pledge online using this link or using our website. We also have a private email which you can use,
pledge@slecp.org
, in this case, please write your name, address, the amount you want to give for the year, and if you want to receive pledge envelopes.
You are such a generous congregation! Together we are making a difference in proclaiming Christ's radical love to all, and by helping and serving those in need around us.
What a blessing to be your Rector!
In Christ's love,
Pierre-Henry+
