Stewardship Update: January 26th, 2023

Thank you to all who pledged in 2022 and are fulfilling those commitments. Thank you also to the parishioners, including new and returning parishioners, who have already submitted pledges for 2023.

As of January 26th, 2023, 164 households pledged $464,645.00 toward supporting St. Martin’s in 2023.

The impact of the mission and ministry of St. Martin’s in this place and in the world depends on the support of its parishioners. As we are thankful for pledges already received, we note that these totals so far are below what we have experienced in the past and where we need to be to fully support St. Martin’s ministries.

In 2022, 269 households pledged over $600,000 to St. Martin’s. If you are in one of the 105 households that pledged last year but have not yet pledged for 2023, we invite you to renew your pledge today. We are still short of the $500,000 pledge income target anticipated in the 2023 Budget. As we embark on this parish-wide project of discernment, engagement, and renewal, we invite those of you who are new to St. Martin’s to join those of us who have already pledged. As we move toward achieving or exceeding previous pledging amounts, we will be able to be even more successful at doing God’s work in this place. The Stewardship Committee and church staff are available to help make pledging as easy as possible. If you wish to pledge on-line, go to https://www.stmartinec.org/pledge/

If you have any further questions, please contact David Dieck or Alan Good from the Stewardship Committee, Lorie Hershey on staff, or our Interim Rector, Jim Littrell.

Thank you again for pledging your support to St. Martin’s for 2023.
