Our Stewardship Campaign began on Sunday, October 11. As good stewards, we are called to share and serve with all our gifts. The Board of Stewardship invites you to celebrate the grace of giving by continuing to share your time, talents and treasures. We truly experience the grace of giving when we invest passionately in living out our faith as individuals and as a community.
Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd has a strong heritage of giving and serving. Remaining focused on our calling to help and serve others will help instill vibrancy and a sense of purpose for our community of faith. We come together to listen, learn, nourish and renew in order to go back out and teach, help and serve. As individuals and as a community, we are strongest when we are serving and helping others.
The Board of Stewardship, the Council and the Boards ask you to recommit to invest your passion, time, talents and treasures to share and to serve. We invite you to live out your faith and experience the grace of sharing the blessings you have been given.
By completing a Personal Covenant to Share form you are encouraged to explore and invest in your passions. You are invited to commit your energy to areas such as life-long learning, worship and mission, and to share your specific talents in areas of ministry and service.
In addition to your regular financial pledge, please consider pledging additional financial resources to support specific ministries of your choice:
- Within – making Good Shepherd a more welcoming place
- Around - reaching out to the neighborhood, Serving with Appalachian People (SWAP), Lutheran Social Services Homeless Youth, and Families Moving Forward
