Dear Fellow Parishioner,
STEWARDSHIP: SHARING IN GOD'S LOVE
 
God's Kingdom, as promised by the Prophets and proclaimed by Jesus Christ, is the Kingdom of God's love.  God is present with us at every moment of our lives and loves everyone with a love that is totally beyond our human understanding.
           
As baptized Christians we have the responsibility, as well as the PRIVILEGE of SHARING with others the love which comes to us through Christ Jesus our Lord.  Thus we proclaim to all, that our love for each other is rooted in Him, who has loved us first.  This is the teaching of the Bible:  "Love then, consists in this...not that we have loved God, but that He has loved us and has sent His Son as an offering for our sins.  Beloved, if God has loved us so, we must have the same love for one another." (1 John 4:10-11)
 
Each faithful is often asked to make a financial commitment to the Lord's work through our Church.  Our offering is an active prayer.  It is an expression of thanksgiving, of consecration, of dedication.  If God so love that He gave, then the Christian so loves that he or she gives keeping in mind that the Church should be supported by the faithful who believe and accept God's word.  Support of the Church is a vital part of Christian worship.  Giving is joy and reverence for the work of Christ's Kingdom; there are a good number of faithful who can double and triple their gifts without in anyway reducing their standard of living.  Proportionate giving with prayerful consideration given to step-up a percentage point each year would produce the financial support the Church needs.  Finally, and most importantly, giving is the most Christian way to support God's Kingdom.
 
Let us contemplate all the things our Church does for us!  All of these offerings are filled with the Grace of God and Blessed in a thousand ways by Him.  We can keep the candle lit for generations to come by sharing God's love.
 
Enclosed, you will find your 2022 Stewardship Pledge Form.  At this time, I invite you to take a moment and reflect upon your personal support and what you are able to give to your Church through your Stewardship Pledge.  Always remember, your Pledge to the Church should be out of love not of duty or obligation.
 
I look forward to worshipping and praying with you and your family in the New Year!  May Almighty God, protect you and keep you and your loved ones safe,
 
In God's Love,
 
 
 
Father Sotirios Dimitriou
