Estimate of Giving for 2025
From our Pastor:
Each year, we ask our church to submit an Estimate of Giving card so we can be good stewards and plan the budget for next year. This is an opportunity to reflect on our time, talents, and treasure. Boldly and prayerfully, let’s be the joyfully generous people of Stonebridge UMC.
This year, in addition to an estimate of giving, we are asking each person to commit to serving at Stonebridge UMC. We have identified almost 200 ways that individuals can be in service at Stonebridge UMC.
You will find below a Step Chart that displays the giving levels of our congregation and an overview of our ministry plans and costs for 2025. I invite you to find your level of giving and prayerfully consider stepping up one level in 2025.
Each family can respond by turning in an estimate of giving card or click the stewardship link and submit the form at link. You will also find a service commitment. This can be filled out or click on the service link and submit the form at link.
As I begin my second year in ministry at Stonebridge UMC, I am increasingly aware of the strength of the commitment and leadership of our church. We are seeing signs of vitality in every area of the church. We have new faces joining us for worship every week, and our children and youth ministries are growing. All of this is possible through the support of this local body of believers with our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. We do this because we believe in Jesus, and we believe in His Church.
We are calling this campaign Unstoppable: I’m ALL IN! The word UNSTOPPABLE came out of our Summer Listening Tour. These meetings captured the imagination of our congregation as have started new initiatives for ministry. As you prayerfully consider how you will serve at Stonebridge and your level of giving for 2025, let’s keep the momentum going and truly make Stonebridge Unstoppable for Jesus Christ.
We will consecrate our commitments to God in worship Sunday, November 17.
We believe in the Church, and we are better together. Let’s make Stonebridge UMC the most joyous place on earth as we strive to live and love like Jesus.
Pastor John Allen
