Stewardship Prayer
PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY Lord Jesus, You came to tell us that the meaning of life consists in giving. You told us that those who cling too tightly to what they have, without thought for You or others, end up losing everything. You gave us new values by which to measure the worth of a person's life. Help us to realize it is not temporal success or riches or fame that gives life meaning. Rather it is the service rendered to You and others that brings fulfillment and makes our lives worthwhile. May all of our activity help to build Gods kingdom; Our obedience to bring true freedom, Our generosity to increase love, Our sacrifices to bear generous fruit, Our deaths to lead to eternal life. Amen
Stewardship Appeal
Our stewardship appeal is in November. Please prayerfully plan your giving by renewing and, if possible, increasing your financial commitment to our parish this coming year. We are asking if you will commit to a few dollars more from last commitment. We have three envelopes in which we ask your support. The white envelopes fund general expense, while green and gold are restricted funds that support specific needs of our mortgage and capital improvements. No amount is too small and your generosity is most appreciated. You will also receive a letter from Father Peter along with a stewardship pledge card in November. Please complete and return the pledge card and pace in the offertory collection or if preferred you may mail or drop off at the rectory. We again thank you for your generous support to our parish. Your financial contributions, and the time and talent that so many of you share with our parish community, are greatly appreciated. Please spread the word of your church to your neighbors and friends, new parishioners are always welcome at Christ the King. Again, thank you. Christ the King Finance Committee, Rick Cosenza, Lori Bhardwaj, Brian Carnahan, Elaine Ward
Mailing
The yearly stewardship letter for time, talent and treasure was sent out by the parish finance council. Please prayerfully read content of letter and respond. Commitment cards will be taken at the second collection on November 13, 2011.
