St. John Family and Friends,

God is at work at St. John’s.  As I mentioned in my homily today, there is so much to celebrate in the life and work of St. John’s.  As we launch our new parish stewardship initiative, Abide & Grow, I invite all of you to join us in furthering the growth and depth of our parish community.

This week you will receive a brochure where you’ll find more information about Abide and Grow and how it supports the mission and ministries of our parish. I ask that you take some time this week to review it and prayerfully consider how you and your family can play an active part in helping St. John the Evangelist continue to grow in faith, service, and love.

On Commitment Weekend, November 15th & 16th, I invite each of you to join me in making a commitment to support our parish through your regular offertory giving. A card will be included in the brochure mailing for you to:

• Mail it to the parish using the pre-addressed envelope included in your mailing
• Bring your card to Mass next weekend
• Or visit our parish website at www.saintjohnpc.org to complete an electronic Commitment Card.

On the back of the card, you’ll also find space to share any prayer intentions you would like us to remember. These intentions will be prayed for collectively in the weeks ahead.

Our goal is 100% participation because this is about all of us, as one parish family, responding to the Lord’s call to Abide and Grow together in faith. Thank you for your generosity, and for all the ways you already love and support our parish.

Peace.

Fr. Kennell
