Financial Appeal/Vision for our Future Ministry-2024
Vision: Our vision for our future growth and maintenance of parish ministry is based on a combination of developing and repurposing parish properties, parish finances and creating more opportunities for volunteers.
Parish Property: To realign our use of church property from that of a perceived liability (ongoing costs of utilities & maintenance) to using parish property as a benefit and revenue source to support parish ministry. This entails pursuing and retaining increased rental opportunities that increase parish revenue and serve the community including utilizing the parish hall, meeting rooms and rectory.
Parish Finances: To provide opportunities for creative giving strategies and fund raising.
Opportunities to Volunteer: At a time when we are welcoming and desire to welcome new members, we want to provide opportunities for meaningful involvement to volunteer in parish life that is fulfilling and rewarding.
Pandemic Realities: We have not yet recovered the same use by the community of church facilities as before Covid. There is future potential that has not yet been realized. Nor have we been able to re-engage all our traditional fund-raising activities. We have also experienced the loss of some of our beloved members who passed away during this time and have been major contributors.
Our future hope is to continue to pursue new rental opportunities of church facilities and creative fund-raising solutions that provide maximum benefit while avoiding member burnout. We want to provide opportunities to volunteer that provide meaningful and rewarding involvement. We also need parish members to review their parish contributions and to consider opportunities to increase their donations.
Our Request: Give each according to their ability.
Confidentiality: The amount you donate or intend to give in the future is confidential. Not everyone will be able to increase their giving or donate the same as someone else. All donations are appreciated trusting you have given according to your ability. If you are able, we are asking you to prayerfully consider increasing your regular donation using the following table as one possible guide.
