2012 Pledge Commitments

Last Sunday, January 15, Stewardship Chair Tony Pecora had the honor of placing the keystone with Episcopal Flag on our beautifully-designed Stewardship 2012 visual aid poster.  The members of St. Stephen’s in-the-Field have exceeded the established pledge goal of $137,000 for 2012 by pledging a total of $138, 498.   Thank you St. Stephen’s!

The Vestry understands that we continue to be in difficult economic times, which presents a challenge for all of us.  In spite of this challenge, families have committed to the mission and future of St. Stephen’s in-the-Field.  We are blessed with the leadership of Father Ken Wratten and Reverend Judi Sato.  We are blessed with individuals and families who give of their time, treasure and talent to support the worship, outreach and Christian education experienced at St. Stephen’s.

Thanks to the generosity of St. Stephen’s members, we ended 2011 with a positive balance of $2,100.   The successful year-end balance and the achievement of our pledge goal for 2012 will enable us to continue to grow our programs and outreach to our community and world.   I look forward to 2012 with excitement and wonder that no matter what challenges us, this congregation rises to the challenge.

Thank you again, St. Stephen’s!  May we be ever mindful that God has a plan for us and it is up to us to have our eyes and ears wide open to that plan.

With gratitude and faith,

Julie Zintsmaster, Treasurer
