Stewardship 2025

During this season, we talk a lot about money and our budget. Yes, those things are important; they are the way we fund the Church, but our real focus is on what our gifts can do for the world. Jesus calls us to heal, visit, feed, accompany, protect, advocate, and love our neighbor, and sharing our time, talent, and treasure is the way that we make this happen.  Please read messages about our 2025 stewardship efforts from:

• Will Bergmann, Priest in Charge
• Scott Hilton, Senior Warden
• Michael O’Hare, Stewardship Committee

Our target pledge budget is $115k, which is an 11% increase from last year due to increased costs (building, utilities, cost of living) and a reduction in fundraising.  In this stewardship season, we are asking that if you haven’t pledged in the past, prayerfully consider making a pledge for 2025.  If you have pledged in the past, consider increasing your pledge by 10-15% if able. 

There are two easy ways to submit your pledge:

• Email our confidential pledge email address at st.markspledges@gmail.com. 
• Fill out the pledge form and place it in the offering plate or mail it to the church office at 75 Cold Spring Road, Westford, MA 01886.

Our campaign will end on December 8th, please return your answer to us by then if possible so that we may count your pledge in our ingathering where your gift will be added to many others to be blessed, broken, and shared with the world. If there is anything we can do to support you or questions we can answer, please do not hesitate to reach out.
