    January 2009 Dear Friends, How blessed we are to be completing 61 years as a community. I would like to thank each of you personally for the many ways you have expressed the love of Christ in your witness to our church community and the communities you encounter each day. The term “steward” has been interpreted many ways, but the true gospel meaning is that of expressing our thanks to God for all He has bestowed upon us by prudently sharing our gifts.. This booklet addresses one aspect of gratitude, the sharing of time and talent. Our parish could not serve our community without the many people who give of their time and talent. We are all the church and we are all needed. If you were to take a guess as to how many people in our parish give freely or “volunteer”, what would you guess? 100? 200?? You might be surprised to know that it takes over 400 people giving of their time to maintain our ministries. Many of these people serve on 2-3 ministries. We need many more generous people to develop the current ministries, allowing people to only serve on one specific ministry, and add future…

    “For we are God’s co-workers; you are God’s field, God’s building”. 1 Cor. 3:9 February 4, 2011 Dear Friend, God continues to bless us tremendously and for this we are grateful. I am privileged to formally invite you to make your sacrificial pledge or one-time gift to our continuing mortgage appeal, “United in Gratitude”. This is the final year for those who had a 2 or 3 year pledge – or, if you are pledging for the first time, we are asking for a one year commitment. The goal of the campaign is to raise $600,000 in pledges over the next 12 months. Our monthly loan payment or “mortgage payment” is expected to be $75,000. Currently, we are comfortably able to pay back only $45,000 per month. This level of payment prolongs the length of the loan and increases our interest payments considerably. Last year we paid over $200,000 in interest on our loan. This was at a 3.5% rate (1% over the LIBOR rate). Basically, less than half of what we bring in goes towards the principal. At the current rate of restricted income, we will be paying on our mortgage appeal for 13-15 years. Our goal is to…
