Stewardship Campaign begins Nov. 3

Let's journey together


Our annual stewardship campaign will begin next Sunday, November 3.


What a perfect start to our stewardship journey - All Saints' Sunday! The day we commemorate all the saints of the church, both known and unknown.


Next Sunday we will distribute stewardship packets and request you return your pledge card as soon as possible, but no later than Sunday, December 1 - the first Sunday in Advent.


Next year will be a challenge for our small church financially. Our expenses have increased substantially, while we have lost several beloved members. Your giving to and support of Resurrection will be more important than ever. We need to ensure our church continues to thrive.


We know generosity is an individual journey, Giving to the church is a powerful way to share your blessings and make a positive impact in our community. Not only does generosity support important programs and outreach, but it also enriches your own spirit and fosters a sense of connection and purpose. The rewards of giving extend beyond material support; they cultivate joy, gratitude, and a deeper sense of belonging.


This is a journey we make together, a Walk in Love!
