Dear Friends,

It is Stewardship Season!  This coming Sunday we will kick off our annual focus on the call to commit to, care for, and financially support St. Michael’s in the coming year.  The Stewardship Campaign is a gracious invitation to go deeper in tending and nourishing this beautiful community we love!

Our theme through this year has been “Bless Beauty,” inviting us to look and pay attention to the beauty manifested among us and all around us—in music and art, community and human relationships, service and outreach, worship and spiritual formation.

The Stewardship call to connect, serve, and pledge together is a call to bless the beauty that God inspires and grows among us.  That beauty is what inspires us to persevere in hope through difficult times.

I am genuinely excited to launch into this Stewardship Campaign with you.  Please watch your mail for the Bless Beauty packet that will be arriving soon.  Please begin to pray about how God may be moving you as a vital part of the St. Michael’s community to pledge time, service and financial support for our life together in 2027.

I have already turned in my pledge, because I am with you.

Scott+

The Rev. R. Scott Painter, Rector
