“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops.”
Proverbs 3:9

Dear COHS Members and Friends,

This past Sunday, we kicked off our 2026 Stewardship Campaign. As we do so, we are reminded of all that we have accomplished together over the last two-plus years following the retirement of our long-term Rector. During this “transition season,” we continued to worship and fellowship, just as we have always done.

With the calling of a new Rector who began her ministry with us in May, we have entered a “new season.” While we look back with pride and accomplishment, we also look forward to the years to come with anticipation and excitement.

Our church’s Vision Statement states that “…through worship, shared ministries, and prayer, we strive to know and express God’s message in Christ through the Holy Spirit in ourselves, our communities, and our world.” During stewardship season, we are reminded that fulfilling our vision requires the time, talents, and treasures of all Church of the Holy Spirit members and friends. This has been called the “three T’s of stewardship.”

As your Stewardship Co-Chairs, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has submitted pledges throughout the years to support the many ministries at Church of the Holy Spirit.

As you know, we incur many necessary expenses throughout each year. Among these are:

Mortgage repayment
Property and liability insurance
Subscriptions
Telephone
Equipment maintenance
Snow removal

We ask you to please consider submitting a pledge by clicking one of the two buttons above. The first is to download a pledge card. Then you can fill it out and bring it to church. The second is to make your pledge online by using our online form.

If you have any questions, please contact Rick Alderfer or Al Stevens .

With sincere gratitude,

Al Stevens and Rick Alderfer
Stewardship C0-Chairs
