Stewardship Campaign 2022
God has given our congregation Grace to care for that which He has given us!
Your generous contributions at work -
The Vestry recognized that our property had reached a point where major maintenance was required. The accessibility project was completed on budget, funded by the Legacy/Endowment.with shiny new paving, railings and ramps. A new Sanctuary roof was completed as well as:
Investment in technology means that we are now reaching a very geographically spread-out community. It means we can be together without being together.
By 2021 year end, thankfully, operating income was greater than expenses. The Vestry opted to use the excess to replenish the Maintenance Reserve to support future repairs and replacements.
Your kind contributions for relief and community needs were guided by the outreach commission.
2022 Going Forward
At the Annual Meeting in February we will ask for approval of a 2022 operating budget of almost $348,000. Most of our expected spending
is non-discretionary. Costs for utilities, insurance and services have increased. The Vestry feels that it is important to provide cost of living increases for staff as well. You are the key to our being able to meet our obligations in the coming year.
There are five ways that you can contribute so that we can have a financially successful 2022. We need your operational support. It is easy for you to use one of the following:
If you would like information on how to use any of these methods, please contact Sandy Wood at (443) 786-0411 or the office at (941) 383-8161 or by Email at [email protected] and we will work together to make it happen.
The Vestry, staff and those with spending authority are committed to being thoughtful and careful stewards of All Angels funds. We ask you to continue to contribute to the ministries of All Angels throughout this year so that we can continue to bring the Living Christ to those inside and outside the church. Your contributions will ensure that All Angels by the Sea remains a wonderful church home.
