Giving at All Saints’
As we look to the future, we believe the Holy Spirit is inviting us to imagine what All Saints’ can become: a church where we deepen our faith and care for one another; where children and youth are known and loved; where worship is vibrant and welcoming; where we build meaningful relationships with our neighbors through service; and where our life together reflects the abundant love of God.
With joy, we ask you to consider an ambitious and generous commitment to God’s work here. We believe that we have an extraordinary opportunity, now, to invest in God’s preferred and promised future, which is abundant, flourishing, and hopeful.
Dear All Saints,
As we look to the future, we believe the Holy Spirit is inviting us to imagine what All Saints’ can become: a church where we deepen our faith and care for one another; where children and youth are known and loved; where worship is vibrant and welcoming; where we build meaningful relationships with our neighbors through service; and where our life together reflects the abundant love of God.
Stepping Forward in Faith
Bringing this dream to life will require us to invest more deeply in our shared ministry. Our goal is to increase giving by $800,000 each year for three years, enabling All Saints’ to strengthen our ministries, expand our reach, invest in the people and programs that will help our parish flourish, and build a sustainable financial foundation for the future.
We are delighted to share that as of September 10, a generous group of parishioners has already committed an additional $589,000 per year for the next three years. Their early generosity gives us momentum as we invite our entire parish to join in this vision.
Your Part in Our Shared Future
With joy, we ask you to consider an ambitious and generous commitment to God’s work here. We believe that we have a once in a generation opportunity, now, to invest in God’s preferred and promised future, which is abundant, flourishing, and hopeful.
Every act of generosity is an expression of faith in this community and in the future God is calling us to build together. We are deeply grateful for your prayerful consideration and for your part in imagining and building what comes next.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Dr. Andrew Barnett
Rector
Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number.
Acts 2:46-47
Generosity as a Spiritual Practice
Consider Proportional Giving
One way to approach your pledge is through proportional giving, choosing a percentage of your income to give to God’s work through All Saints’.
The biblical tradition of the tithe, giving 10%, offers one guide. For many, however, proportional giving begins at a different place. What matters is making a prayerful decision about the proportion that is right for you. As you prayerfully consider your pledge, we invite you to make a meaningful commitment that reflects All Saints’ as a priority in your life.
A Question for Prayerful Reflection
What proportion of what God has entrusted to me can I joyfully return to support God’s work through All Saints’?
Every pledge matters. Every act of generosity strengthens our shared ministry. Together, our gifts make possible the church we are imagining.
We will acknowledge, with gratitude, all those who have made a 2027 pledge in our All Saints’ Day bulletin on November 1. We will simply print names alphabetically, and we will each be invited to bring a symbol of our pledge to the altar, as has been our tradition. To ensure that we include your intentions in that celebration, we ask that you make your commitment by October 20.
