​Stewardship
Time – Talent – Treasures

During the past two years, the church has overcome the challenges of the pandemic. The number
of pledging members decreased, and the church is facing a deficit budget. Yet, new growth has
taken place and with your help, we will continue to grow with God at Grace.
Although in-person attendance and financial stewardship are down, Grace has continued
successful traditional events including the 2021 Thanksgiving Blessing of the Hounds and the
2022 Farm Tour and Country Fair on church grounds.

True stewardship reaches out beyond the walls of our historic building into the lives of our
parishioners and the community and world beyond. We foster a sense of connectedness and
“ownership” of our parish by providing education through Christian Foundation, outreach, and
fellowship through social activities.

Sunday services that started streaming online while the church was closed have continued in
conjunction with in-person attendance. Our ministry in the community also remained strong with
the Food Closet, Salvation Army dinners and the weekend food-backpacks program at Stony
Point Elementary.

Stewardship is the backbone of our ministry at Grace and in the community and world beyond.
The vestry asks you to make a financial commitment (pledge) to Grace.
Grace Church depends on you returning time talent and treasure to God so Grace Church can do
God’s work in the community. One of the duties of the vestry is providing Grace with enough
resources to do God’s work.
​
The Vestry of Grace Church as adopted the following statement on stewardship:
We, the Vestry of Grace Episcopal Church, believe that God is the source of all gifts, spiritual
and material, and our faithful response is to be givers and creators ourselves. We appreciate our
many blessings and as good stewards of those gifts, commit ourselves to giving a significant
portion of our time, talent, and treasure each year to do God’s work. We invite the parish to
make this statement their own, and in so doing, to strengthen our church family and to further the
work of Grace Church.
