STEWARDS OF HOPE
Next Article
Amanda M. Hughes Director of Development and Strategy
Dear Friends,
Duke Chapel makes a difference every day in the lives of the students, faculty, and staff at Duke and beyond in the local community and across the nation. One example of this is pictured on these pages. Partnering with the Society of St. Andrews, members of the Duke community bagged sweet potatoes for local food pantries and soup kitchens, helping to care for those among us who are food insecure. It is one of many opportunities at Duke Chapel to serve the world. And that is what we are called to do.
As we fully embrace the Chapel’s mission and focus on the priorities outlined in our Strategic Plan, we invest our time, talent, and treasure in four strategic areas: Student Engagement, Christian Worship, Sacred Music and the Arts, and Community Engagement.
In every area, we recognize that we are stewards not only of the Chapel as a building, but the Chapel as an icon of hope. We are stewards of the people who look to us for inspiration and consolation. And we are stewards of the resources you share with us through your gifts. Every day, we strive to be accountable and responsible to the gifts of God in our midst. All of our activities are funded through the generosity of individuals and foundations who support our mission and the mission of this great university. We are deeply grateful.
If you would like to request a copy of our Strategic Plan, please contact us at chapeldevelopment@duke.edu and we will send you a copy. You can also find a copy online at chapel.duke.edu/strategicplan.
Thank you for investing in our mission and our ministries.
Sincerely yours,
Amanda Millay Hughes
