STEWARDSHIP OFFERINGS
Although Church services are available now, the collection tray is not being passed and many are not attending out of abundant caution. We are still in need of your weekly stewardship offerings, perhaps more now that ever. With limited attendance, our collections are way down. In addition, please remember to complete paying your 2020 stewardship. In addition, if you have not made a stewardship gift for 2020 it is not too late.
Our stewardship campaign for 2021 has already begun. For those who were unable to pick up their 2021 stewardship envelope containing a church calendar, stewardship letter, and stewardship pamphlet/card for giving, these were mailed to you on Wednesday December 30, 2020. There are also additional stewardship envelopes available as you enter the church on the left along with a box to drop your completed stewardship pamphlet/cards in. Please complete your 2021 stewardship pamphlet/card, as soon as possible, so we can adequately plan for 2021 as outlined in the stewardship letter.
You can continue to contribute through our web page www.stdemva.com, send your weekly offering checks by mail, or use PayPal for your convenience.
