With Bulletin for October 17 Service

Dear Fellow St. Paul’s Parishioners,   Our 2022 Stewardship Campaign is underway, with the theme of "Love, Serve, Thrive"! Watch your mailbox for our brochure and pledge card. Our goal for 2022 is $475,000 in pledges from 200 parishioners, up about 10% from 2021. This target will help assure funding for our growing mission and ministries, particularly our substantial increase in outreach to our community, fellow parishioners and neighbors in these challenging times. This includes our important meals programs, St. Paul’s Suppers and School Snacks, which feed up to 150 families a week but does not have a permanent source of funding in our budget. With the summer season ended and some businesses closing for the winter and laying off workers, we expect food insecurity in Nantucket will only increase going forward.   There are many ways to pledge for 2022: You may mail your pledge card back to us, drop it off at the church office, or drop it in the collection plate in person at any Sunday service. But for the first time in two years, we will hold our traditional Pledge Sunday, on October 31st, to officially kick off our campaign. You are also able to pledge and make pledge payments securely on line at our website here: https://stpaulschurchnantucket.org/give/give-treasure-pledge-donate-or-gift/,  where you can also download a pledge card and brochure. And we are pleased to announce the launch of our new St. Paul’s app, which you can also use to make pledges and payments securely. Just go to your app store, download the Ministry One app and follow the instructions to get started—it looks like this:  If you have any questions about the 2022 campaign, feel free to email the church office or one of this year's co-chairs, Peter Barnes at   or Patsy Wright at  .

Lord, when did we see you hungry, imprisoned, lonely or naked, in need of a friend? “Whatever you’ve done for one of these others, in truth you have done it for me.” The servants well-pleasing to God live not for the praise of the world, but give in response to God’s love, which they, undeserving, received. RefrainThe servants well-pleasing to God know he will supply all their needs; and when they will faithfully tithe he’ll give them abundance beside. Refrain.
