Stewardship & Pledge

A New Perspective: Stewardship & Pledge

Dear Parishioners & Friends of St. John,

As we enter a new year, we are invited to renew our stewardship and recommit ourselves to the life and mission of St. John. Stewardship calls each of us to give according to our means — offering our time, our God-given talents, and our treasure.

St. Paul teaches: “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:6–8)

We kindly ask that you take a moment to submit your stewardship pledge card, either online or by mail. Those who make a pledge become eligible to vote in the Parish Assembly and to seek parish leadership positions. Yet stewardship is far more than a requirement — it is a prayerful and personal commitment to support our church through your time, talent, and treasure.

As your parish priest, I am always available to speak with anyone who has questions about stewardship and how it serves our parish. It is also my responsibility to ensure that both long-time parishioners and new members are:

 
• Knowledgeable about the teachings of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church
• Baptized and Chrismated in the Armenian Church
• Faithful in attending services at St. John
• Eager to learn the sacred traditions and rituals of our Church
• Engaged in volunteering for parish ministries and events
• Committed to fulfilling their annual stewardship pledge

Christian stewardship reminds us that all we possess — our abilities, our resources, and our skills — are gifts from God. We are called to use these blessings wisely and to support, strengthen, and beautify the sacred ministries and grounds of our beloved church.

Thank you for your continued love, generosity, and dedication to St. John. May God bless you abundantly for your faithfulness and devotion.

Sincerely,
Fr. Guregh Hambardzumyan
Pastor
