“Consider
this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Each must do as already determined, without sadness or
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
- 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
You
have a wonderful opportunity to continue the legacy of
our Diocesan family by making a leadership gift to the
Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Membership in the 2008 Council
of Stewards of the Diocese of Allentown is an honor presented
to those special benefactors who have demonstrated a desire
and willingness to assume a “leadership role”
in meeting the spiritual, physical and emotional needs
of others by making a gift or pledge of $1,000 or more
to the 2008 Bishop’s Annual Appeal.
As a member of
the Council of Stewards, through your selfless generosity,
you will set an example for other parishioners to follow.
There
are three categories of participation:
- Circle
of Charity $5,000 and over
- Circle
of Hope $2,500 - $4,999
- Circle
of Faith $1,000
- $2,499
Membership
in all circles will be invited to a special liturgy of
prayer followed by a special reception of gratitude.
Circles
of Hope and Charity members will be invited to a special
Christmas celebration.
