All Things Bright & Beautiful
“The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein.”
This year’s stewardship theme reminds us that God is the creator of all things, and all that we have is a creation, and therefore a gift, of God.
Our stewardship is how we care for all that God has created and placed in our hands. We commit ourselves to using these gifts to do our part in joining God’s mission of healing the world. We give so that we may worship, grow in faith, build community, and serve.
This year’s stewardship season begins with the Feast of St. Francis on October 6, as we celebrate creation. We continue through our Stewardship Ingathering celebration on All Saints Sunday, November 3. We will have one service only at 9:30 am followed by a potluck brunch.

One of our treasured parish customs is the procession to the baptismal font during the service on Ingathering Sunday when we present our pledge cards for the coming year. Our pledge is our offering of ourselves, our souls and bodies, to do our part as Christ’s hearts and hands.

“Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for our common life, and bring us all to be of one heart and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
