Stewardship at St. Peter’s
A Letter from the Stewardship Chair
Dear Friend in Christ at St. Peter’s
Let me explain in five ways why I love St. Peter's Episcopal Church and am willing to support it by giving money and sharing my time and talent so this parish will continue to grow and be a benefactor in the Salisbury area community:
- Members of St. Peter's demonstrate love for one another. They are always ready to help in time of need
- Our parish is mission driven - its members recognize the need to serve others in our community - providing for the homeless and supporting a variety that are in dire need of God's help through us.
- Peter's teaches its members and equips them to do the work God has called them to do
- Father David, Pastor Greg and Deacon Laura are especially there when a family or individual is in need of spiritual help during a crisis.
- Peter's has a beautiful sanctuary that adds pleasure to our worship. Our Vestry has made the necessary maintenance and care to preserve its beauty.
St. Peter's can only be as effective as its membership. I therefore invite you to become a strong part of this parish family and mission. I encourage you to support your church by giving a portion of your time, talent and treasure - to take a forward step toward God by making a commitment to serve Him in any way you can.
Each of us has a story to tell about why we chose St. Peter’s; why we continue to participate in the life of the Parish; and why we continue to support its ministries. What is your story? What is it that makes St. Peter’s important to you? What can you do for St. Peter’s?
Please prayerfully consider making a pledge to your church for 2027 by filling a pledge card and returning it to church or pledging online by Stewardship Thanksgiving Sunday, November 22nd.
God has given us much. Now is our opportunity to thank Him by giving - as our Book of Common Prayer says, "ourselves, our souls and bodies" for His glory in this parish and in this community. With this the Lord will be pleased and will bless us abundantly.
Thanks be to God!

How much to give?
The standard of giving in the Episcopal Church is the Tithe (10% of income). If that is difficult, you may want to work toward the tithe in 2027 by incrementally increasing your giving each year to help St. Peter’s realize our vision. What you pledge in thanksgiving to God and to further God's mission is up to you. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
We are stewards, caretakers of God’s gifts. Everything we have was a gift from God, and God asks us to use it all for God’s purposes.
