October, 2025

Dear Christ Church parishioners,

The 2026 Episcopal Church stewardship campaign, “Tell Out My Soul,” celebrates faith, gratitude, and generosity. Rooted in scripture and community, it calls us to share God’s abundance joyfully. Through prayer, service, and giving, we strengthen ministries, support mission, and witness God’s love, ensuring vibrant spiritual growth for future generations.

As we embark on this 2026 stewardship journey, let us ask: How will my life magnify the Lord? How will my spirit rejoice in God my Savior? May our answer be seen in faithful pledging, joyful service, and a shared commitment to tell out God’s love in our time.

Luke 1:46-47 “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”

When we pledge, we tell out our soul, rejoicing in God our Savior. Our offerings—whether of prayer, service, or financial support—become part of the song of the church, telling out God’s love to the world. Each gift, no matter its size, magnifies the Lord by helping ministries flourish, feeding the hungry, teaching the Gospel, and nurturing faith across generations.

At Christ Church South Amboy, we have always shared our time, talents, and treasures to shine forth as signs of God’s abundance in us. Stewardship, then, is not only about giving money to the church; it is also about volunteering and allowing each one of us to shine in a way we know best.

Blessings to you all,

Michael Ferraro,
Stewardship Chairman

When you give online, you can designate your gift to a specific area. You can also set up a recurring gift, which we also call a pledge. Christ Church relies on annual pledges to plan our budget. Every fall, we run a fundraising campaign for the following year. We call this our annual stewardship drive.

What is Stewardship?

God has given each of us many gifts. Stewardship is our commitment to be grateful, responsible stewards of those gifts. How we use our gifts should reflect what is most important to us. Stewardship is part of our Christian responsibility and applies to money, time, talents, volunteer work – everything! Stewardship builds relationships with generosity.

What is a Pledge?

A pledge is a commitment to support God's work in this parish. This financial commitment supports our parish's mission and ministry for 2022. By pledging, you are investing in your spiritual home so that Christ Church may continue to welcome others in worship and fellowship and to serve South Amboy and surrounding communities. While your gift enriches worship and events on our grounds, your gift supports our mission in all directions

How Much Do I Give?

Christ Church, like every other Episcopal Church, is a non-profit. Everything we do to serve our community is only possible because of the gifts we -+receive.
Deciding on the amount of your pledge starts with prayers of gratitude for all that God has given you. Your decision continues with prayer to God about the role of Christ Church in your life and how this community has shaped you. What are your hopes for Christ Church South Amboy?

Some consider their pledge a sacrificial offering, returning a percentage to God from what God has given. Your pledge should be a joyful reflection of God's generosity and grace at work in your life. Father George Karney always says, "Don't give until it hurts; give until it feels good!"

Our Promise to You

At Christ Church South Amboy, we aim to be the best stewards we can of every gift we receive, as we grow in faith together in Jesus' name.
