Forward in Faith

Capital Campaign

News

Volume 10 October 15 & 16, 2011

Thank you again to all the parishioners who are supporting our

campaign with their prayers, a gift or pledge as well as those

who responded to let us know they will be unable to contribute

at this time. We know that not every family is capable of making

a pledge to the campaign; however, each household’s response

and prayers are essential to our success. We have over

1000 families in this Parish and have received 335 responses.

We ask everyone to participate in any way possible to this campaign

with prayers and/or pledges.

*Just a reminder again, in November the monthly

Building Fund Envelope included in your weekly

envelope packets will also be able to be used for

the Forward in Faith Campaign. You may use it to

pay on your pledge or to make a gift as you are

able. Until then please use the Building Fund Envelopes.

It’s not the size of the gift but the sacrifice you are

willing to make.

FOLLOW-UP CONTINUES!

There is still time to respond to the campaign. If you have not

had a chance to hand in your completed pledge envelope or

card please do so today. Volunteers are continuing to make

calls and visits.

We do not ask for equal giving, but for equal sacrifice

from every family!

PARISHIONERS RESPOND -

Stewardship Thought

"Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what

belongs to God." - Matthew 22:21

It’s reality, everything belongs to God. We would have nothing if

God had not given us the skills, talents and opportunities to accomplish

what we accomplish. Therefore, we have an obligation to

return a portion of our gifts to God, for all gifts come from Him

and belong to Him.
