Financial Stewardship: Seek the Lord, Serve the Church, Play your Part
Stewardship Sunday provides an opportunity to celebrate all that God is doing in and through our church, and for us all to prayerfully consider how to play our part through financial giving. We give thanks for the faithful financial generosity of many of our church family. We also give thanks for the many and varied activities of our church, and the way they have grown in recent years.
As we look back with thanks, we look ahead with faith, expectant of all that God will do in the year ahead. The big financial headline for 2025 is that to continue and develop all that we do to grow God’s Kingdom in this place, our collective regular giving needs to increase by 10% or £40,000. As part of your Christian discipleship and playing your part, could you increase your giving or be one of 25 new households to join our pledged giving scheme? We would love to reach the milestone of 225 households in 2025.
The Stewardship letter, available in church and electronically https://www.allsaintsecclesall.org.uk/stewardship-sunday-2024 , provides more details on our church finances and how to respond. We are seeking responses no later than the 3rd November to allow PCC to set budgets for 2025 at its meeting in November.
With thanks for your partnership in Christ’s work,
The Stewardship Team (Julia, Roland, and Simon)
