DECEMBER IS STEWARDSHIP MONTH AT ST. JOHN
On three Sundays during the month of December, presentations were made after Badarak regarding year two of St. John’s successful stewardship program.
On December 1, Dr. Gary Seabrook spoke of stewardship in terms of “Time, Talent and Treasure.” He focused on Treasure, reviewing St. John’s budget and explaining the parish’s multiple sources of income. In 2024 the largest dollar amount came from the Armenian Church Endowment Fund, followed by proceeds from Milwaukee Armenian Fest, the most profitable year for our festival to date. Running a close third was the money pledged by our members through the stewardship program, trailed by income from sacraments, candles and the Sunday collection plates. Gary noted that since we went to the “Stewardship System” there has been a growth in voting membership and that as of December 1, only a few people hadn’t yet fulfilled their pledges.
