Faithfully to 40

 
Dear Members and Friends of All Saints,
 

All Saints Lutheran church is rapidly approaching an important milestone in the life of our church. On November 4,1984, 126 individuals signed their names to our living charter (and 30 young people inked their fingerprint alongside their parents). Since then, our numbers have grown tenfold and our ministry to this community has deepened substantially.

As we approach our 40th anniversary, we are making moves to do something bold and new in this place. We are calling a full-time associate pastor in order to strengthen one of the greatest gifts we have here at All Saints: children, youth, and families. With God’s help, we have an opportunity to do some incredible things here. But in order to do so, we need you to pledge your financial support for the sake of this new endeavor and to the other ministries of this church.

Throughout the summer, we held community forums to discuss how we were going to make this dream a reality. We held a “mock pledge” campaign and found that a majority would support increasing their giving by 20% in order to fully fund a new full-time associate pastor. Now we are asking you faithfully and boldly to make this pledge. Pledging is how we make our budget and we can not call this new pastor without the support of the congregation.

What does God have in store for All Saints Lutheran church in the next 40 years (and beyond)? Your joyful and faithful giving will allow us to do some incredible things in this place. Your pledged commitments will make it possible for us to expand our ministry as we continue to gather for worship and learning, share the Good News, witness and serve our community. We are moving “Faithfully to 40” in boldness toward our future. But we can only do so with your financial support.
