A Letter from Our Stewardship Committee

Dear Beloved Partner in Ministry,

We are excited to announce that our 2025 Stewardship Appeal theme is “REJOICE.” During the Stewardship Team meeting last summer, we reflected on the blessings we have received from God and the word “rejoice” stood out to us. We want to experience joy together as we support and participate in St. Paul’s ministries, outreach, and efforts.

We are grateful for your generous support, which has allowed us to share the love and message of Christ with others. As we look forward to the future, we invite you to rejoice and give thanks for what God can accomplish through our community by reaching and surpassing our 2025 financial goals. This will enable us to increase and enhance our faith and love for Jesus, expand our community outreach, and support our church staff and campus.

Throughout the month of October, we will share the ways in which God has blessed our congregation. This will lead to Commitment Sunday on October 27, 2024, when you can make known your intended offering for next year.

We ask you to prayerfully consider your 2025 St. Paul’s financial commitment and reflect on the blessings God has given you. Your financial gifts are crucial in enabling us to carry out important ministry work. We hope that each ministry partner will turn in a commitment card for 2025.

As a congregation of joyful givers, your financial gifts are not just contributions, but a source of inspiration and upliftment. When joined together, our gifts and offerings help us share Christ’s love and message with others. We invite you to pray for St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, asking that the Holy Spirit continues to guide and use our faith community to create and grow ministry initiatives that benefit the church and the community.

Thank you for your generous and joyful response to God’s love in Christ Jesus. Your past support has been instrumental in our ministry work, and we are deeply grateful for it.

Sincerely in Christ,

St. Paul’s Stewardship Committee:

Pastor Jonathan Conrad, Pastor Mark Opgrand, Don Erickson (chair), Kay Griep, Kristine Hopkins, Robert Poole, Gary and Debbie Pyle, Tom Bertelsen, Rick Struck, and Lynda Shell.
