2025 STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN BE THE CHURCH WHERE ...

Resurrection Church Family,

The recent years have given us much to reflect upon, especially the things that bring us comfort and joy. What gives our lives meaning? What remains steady through life’s challenges? While answers may differ, the concept of `family and friends` would likely be a common thread for many.

2024 has brought more challenges for the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, but one thing is certain. Our church is more than a place of worship; it’s a home where we find solace among ‘family and friends’. As we move into the new year, and closer to hiring a Vicar, we ask that you thoughtfully consider your commitment of time, talent, and treasure to our community.

On November 10th, our church family will come together to launch the 2025 Stewardship Campaign, a special opportunity to reflect on our role in the community and how we can contribute to its growth and success. We invite you to join us on this journey and explore how your time, talents, and financial commitment can help us build a thriving community that serves the world for Jesus Christ. As we embrace this year’s theme, ‘Be the Church Where...’, we encourage you to embrace your potential and join us in creating a brighter future for all.

To make pledging easier, we offer an online form at our website, or you may use the pledge cards available in the church narthex or the stewardship letter you were mailed, and these cards can be mailed to the office or placed in the offering plate. During Sunday services, we will have cards available. We would like to get people to pledge through REALM, our on-line system that helps us communicate more effectively with our congregation. Please be prayerful in your stewardship and complete your pledge by December 8th. We also invite you to share your time and talent by volunteering for various roles, e.g., altar guild, flower guild, usher, reader, or greeter and we encourage those with musical talents to come forward. You can do so by adding a note to your pledge card, by sending an e-mail to the church administrator (at office@ecraustin.org), or letting one of the Bishop’s Committee members know.

“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” May this verse from St. Paul be the hallmark of who and what we are as the family at Resurrection Church.

With Love in Christ,

The Bishop’s Committee
