Stewardship
We are grateful to share that 157 households turned in their pledge ahead of last week’s Ingathering—including 28 new pledgers! These new commitments are a clear sign of growth and vitality at St. Michael’s. Thank you for helping us move forward in mission and ministry!
We’re still hoping to hear from several more longtime and new members this season. You can turn in your pledge today using a card or online through the link in the bulletin.
If you have any questions, please reach out to a member of our Stewardship Team. Every pledge matters—and your participation helps us grow even stronger!
