We Are The Church — 2023 Stewardship Drive Campaign
At Good Shepherd, we worship together, serve the community together, learn together, play together, and accept everyone together. Together, we are the Church. You have a place here! You are the church! Together, we are the Church! When we come to follow in the way of Jesus, he asks us to bring all that we are.
With this year’s theme, We are the Church, we kick off stewardship season during the month of October. Worship in October will encompass sermons about what ‘We are the Church” means to each of us. We also plan for participants to share their thoughts on what it means for each to be “I” in the Church at GSUCC. Look for a letter, our mission spending plan, and upcoming activities via email in October. Our Dedication Sunday for 2023 pledges will be on November 6.
As an alternative, you may submit your pledge information by clicking on this link to our Giving Form.
Even if you are unable to contribute, please complete the form and choose the non-financial option. We kindly ask that you submit this information by Sunday, October 30. By submitting your pledge information, it allows the Stewardship Ministry to present more accurate information to the Council, who can then make budget adjustments in November and present a final budget to the congregation in December.
Thank you for your consideration. We pray that you will be able to make a pledge for next year and that the 2023 budget will allow Good Shepherd to meet its physical requirements and your spiritual needs, because together “We are the Church”.
