Investing in Life at Grace-St. Luke’s 2020 Stewardship Campaign: On November 3, we celebrate Pledge Consecration Sunday and the commitments of time, treasure, and talent that our parishioners make in support of the mission and ministries of Grace-St. Luke’s. Your pledge to GSL (simply a considered estimate of what you plan to give for 2020) helps the parish plan and budget for expenses – from superlative music to quality programming for all ages to essential ministries. If you’ve not already done so, please handdeliver or mail your pledge form to the church office, or pledge online at www.gracestlukes.org/pledge. This Sunday, you may also fill out a pledge form and place it in the pledge basket as you come forward for communion. For those who’ve made pledges – thank you! On Sunday, please pick up an “I pledged” card and place it in the pledge basket. Thank you for joining us in investing in life at Grace-St. Luke’s and for all you do to support our parish. In faith and gratitude for life at Grace-St. Luke’s, Allison and Steven King, 2020 Stewardship Chairs
