2020 Stewardship Letter:
October 31, 2019
Dear Congregational Family of
Christ Episcopal Church,
With this letter we begin our
annual giving request. Our operational
budget is expected to be near $62,000 for 2020.
A revised budget will be developed based on pledges received.
With the giving of your time,
talents, and financial assistance, Christ Episcopal presently offers:
·
Holy Eucharist or
Morning Prayer every Sunday. With the
leadership of The Rev. Canon Gregg Riley usually offering Holy Eucharist 3 to 4
Sundays a month and Mrs. Jane Barnett leading us in Morning Prayer on other
Sundays. Cecil Evans, Vickie Sanders,
and Suzie Rush lead us in music for our worship services.
·
Financial and
volunteer support to The Shepherd Center.
Jane also offers Morning Prayer each Wednesday at The Shepherd
Center.
·
Financial support to
Nashotah House Theological Seminary, The School of Theology in the University
of the South at Sewanee, and Camp
Hardtner
·
The requested annual
‘giving’ to the Diocese.
·
In 2019 your capital
campaign donations allowed us to complete the handicap access ramp and major
repairs and painting to the exterior of the church and parish house.
·
A meeting home for
AA, community events and elementary age school tutoring.
We will conclude the 2020
Stewardship Drive with pledges returned in time for a thanksgiving and blessing
service on Sunday, December 8th lead by Bishop Jake Owensby. The celebration will include a potluck
luncheon following the 10am service.
Your time is as critical as your
financial support. We appreciate the
service you provide whether it’s offering refreshments for fellowship time, volunteering
to read during the service, serving on the vestry, leading us in our prayerful
music, joining the Flower/Altar Guild, serving as lay person with Father Gregg;
or, any other support you wish to join us in.
Yours in Christ,
Sam Corson
