As we approach the end of December, we begin planning our 2022 budget. We ask you to consider pledging.
Thank you for your continued financial giving during 2021 and for helping to make our ministries a success. As we approach the end of December, we begin planning our 2022 budget. We ask you to consider pledging and to pray for good outcomes in our quest to be a source of hope in the community.
Recently, the Esperanza Council met to formulate a new approach to the call for us to be the hands and feet of Christ. The Council is proposing that we pursue a new focus on hunger while continuing to support our ongoing outreach efforts.
In the coming year, we will increase opportunities to learn about our faith and how we can support each other and the community.
To achieve this, we plan to improve our operations so that we use our resources effectively and efficiently.
Your participation is essential if we are to continue to be a source of hope in our community.
If you have pledged, we thank you! Please consider making an additional gift this calendar year!
If you have not yet fulfilled your 2021 pledge, please do all you can to bring it up to date. We were counting on you when you made that promise.
If you have not pledged for 2022, please pray about how you can support our community as we do God’s work.
The Apostle Paul writes, “I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:3-6)
We celebrate that you are part of Esperanza Lutheran Church and thank you for your support of God’s work that we do together. When we each contribute to our shared life, God will do mighty things through us for the sake of the world.
We are excited to move forward into a new year of mission and ministry!
In Christ,
Your Esperanza Stewardship Team
