Annual Stewardship

THIS YEAR’S CAMPAIGN

Stewardship is about more than just money. It’s about how we follow Jesus through the ways we spend all of the resources that God gives us– our time, our talent, and our treasure.

TIME & TALENT

Time is the most valuable resource we have. God alone knows our account balance. Because time is so precious, it is all the more important that we exercise discernment in how we spend it and what of it we give back directly to God in worship, prayer, study, and service to others. God has given you gifts and abilities to use for the growth of his kingdom. The church should be a place where you discern, explore, and engage each of those gifts. If you would like to learn more about your own spiritual gifts, scan the QR code in this brochure. Once you know where your personal gifts lie, let us know by filling out the pledge card so we can get you plugged in to some of the ministries at St. Richard’s.

TREASURE

God’s vision for the church is one in which all give of their material resources for the common good (Acts 2:44-45). Our giving to the church should free us from the transactional nature of the world, drawing us closer to each other and to God.

This year’s campaign runs from Sunday, August 18th, through All Saints’ Sunday, November 3rd. 

HOW MUCH ARE WE TRYING TO RAISE?

We are trying to raise $650k for the operating budget and $140k for the parish hall debt for 2025

Though the vast majority of our revenue comes from pledged giving, our operating budget is covered by a number of sources— non pledged contributions, loose-plate offerings, a cost-sharing agreement with our school, and fees charged for the use of our facilities by other groups. 

This budget will help us meet the needs of our growing community while addressing increased costs due to inflation. 

One-hundred percent of your financial gift goes straight to the mission and ministry of the church.
