From the Wardens
October 2011
Dear Friends,
The Vestry is inviting you to join us Sunday, October 30th at 10:00 AM worship followed by a delicious luncheon, family fun, fellowship and yes, a little conversation about Stewardship for 2012.
___ Child care
___ A chance to win fabulous prizes!
___ Great food
___ Fast-paced luncheon and program which will end by 1:00 PM
This Stewardship season, please reflect on the importance of St. Paul’s in your life. How important is St. Paul’s to you? Are the Sunday morning services, the choir and the liturgical rites important to you? Is Sunday school important to you? Are outreach and community service important to you? Is being part of a faith community important to you?
Your support over the past year has been generous and we are truly grateful. Your pledges have not only enabled St. Paul’s to meet the spiritual needs of its members, but also to be a resource to the larger Pawtucket community.
However, for St. Paul’s to continue to do all this, we need you – we need your pledge. Like all Episcopal Churches, St. Paul’s does not receive money from the Diocese for its daily operations. The year ahead presents many opportunities and challenges: we are encouraged by the involvement of our newer members and grateful for the strong guidance of our established members. The Vestry will honor its commitment to sound financial management by reducing the draw from our endowment.
Your pledge helps us budget and plan for the year ahead, while maintaining and strengthening all the ministries that make St. Paul’s such a special place. We will look forward to our Stewardship luncheon on October 30th. We hope you will join us as we celebrate our life together.
St. Paul’s needs each of us to make our commitment with a pledge. Please prayerfully consider your pledge for 2012.
