Stewardship

Dear Partners in Ministry,

“The people of Holy Love will rise to the occasion.” How often have you heard that phrase over the years, whether for a new carpet or a new ministry? Well, it is time to Rise Up! During this year's pandemic our congregation played a critical role in bringing hope and love to our community as we sheltered in place and struggled with what it means to be the church. We realized in all of that the importance of community worship, care for one another, and the impact that this ministry has on our local community. Your participation in the life of Holy Love Lutheran Church is very important and special. By joining together with other members and friends, our congregation continues to share the Gospel here and across the country and world.


As we consider our stewardship response this year, we do so in a different world than in years past. Some of us are in different places economically than we were. However, all of us are in a place of more gratitude for God’s love in our lives and excitement for sharing the gospel with others.
Due to the generosity of some of our members, a challenge fund of $5,000 will be donated to Holy Love if we receive 20 new or increased pledges. The fund will be used as seed money to address the security, communication, and technology issues around the church. (for instance, did you know that our current fire alarm is not connected to the local fire department? Did you know we cannot live-stream worship from the sanctuary?) As you consider your gift for the coming year, you are encouraged to consider how it is you can grow in your generosity. Perhaps an additional $1 per day would work for you, or perhaps you could consider making one additional gift this year to your normal weekly or monthly contributions. As we begin this generosity journey together, please pray about how you can grow in generosity this year.


Thank you for all you do to bless this congregation. And thank you for considering how you can grow in generosity in the coming year
