2026 Stewardship

Dear friends,

When we are grounded in Christ, our lives become good soil. Small seeds can take root and flourish, growing together into a harvest that can nourish a multitude!

This year, Christ Church has been grounded in the teachings of Jesus through worship, small groups, Sunday School, and our season with The Saint John’s Bible. We are growing together, welcoming new households, nurturing children and youth, engaging in outreach, and expanding our connections to our neighbors, the Diocese of Newark, the Episcopal Church, even to Scotland and Panama!

The theme at the center of our spiritual growth this year is Creation. We are continuing to focus on Creation Care and how creativity shapes our faith – from choirs that lift our worship, to Create & Connect and Faith & Film, to meals prepared at the Breakfast Club, Martha & Mary, and Parish Life events.

I invite you to be part of this growth and make a generous pledge to support the ministry of Christ Church in the coming year. Together, we can steward the many ways that our parish is increasing its impact and yielding abundant growth together.

In hope, faith, and love,

The Rev. Bowie Snodgrass

Rector

A pledge is an annual commitment of financial resources to the church. Episcopal churches use the term “stewardship campaign” to describe the annual effort to collect pledges of financial support from parishioners to fund the operating budget for the coming year, allowing our ministries to be possible. Pledging gives us a chance to assess our priorities in a planned and thoughtful manner.

How can I make a pledge?

Pledge cards are mailed to members of the congregation in the fall and also are available in the Parish Office throughout the year. You also may choose to send an email to the Parish Office to confirm your commitment or pledge online.
