Stewardship for 2026

And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…”

 Luke 1:46-47, NRSV

October is Stewardship Month at St. John’s. Our theme this year is “Tell Out My Soul,” words from the Song of Mary known as the Magnificat.

Did you ever have news that was so exciting that you could not wait to share it with others? The Good News that fills our spirits with joy is about the radical abundance, abiding love, and healing power that Jesus shares with us when we respond to his call to follow him. All of the gifts that we have been given are ready to burst forth to serve our neighbors and share our love with a world in need.

Thank you to everyone who has made a pledge for 2026. Your pledges of time and talent have been collated and posted on the bulletin board across from the parish office. Please add your name to ministries you would like to continue in or join so that the work of the parish can thrive in 2026. We have prepared the 2026 budget which will be approved by the Vestry and presented at the Annual Meeting on February 1. We accept new pledges year round! Pick up a card in the narthex or print one from the above link and send it to the office or hand it to one of the wardens.
