St. Luke's of Monrovia

The official ingathering of pledge cards was on Oct 30th. Many thanks to those who have turned their 2012 pledge cards. If for some reason you have forgotten to turn yours in, please do so as soon as possible so the Vestry can begin the task of setting up our budget for 2012.    

People often ask, what is stewardship?  At its most basic, it is how we care for the gifts we have received from God.  It is the wise and faithful use of our resources – our time, talents, and treasure – all of which we believe were given us by God.  Stewardship is about community and how we function together.  It is a personal thanksgiving to God for all of the gifts that God has given us.  While emphasizing once more the importance of the use of our time and talents during this fall stewardship effort, our primary focus will be on the commitment to financially support God’s work at St. Luke’s through pledging.

            Your pledge to St. Luke’s allows the Vestry to make plans and allocate funds for the support and strengthening of the ministries, missions, and outreach efforts of the church. It aids in the preparation of a master plan or budget for the coming year. The budget will weigh heavily on the Vestry’s decisions both in calling our next Rector and in maintaining our existing programs.
