Acknowledging the good you already have in your life
Is the foundation for abundance.
—Eckhart Tolle

When we started our stewardship campaign last year, we hoped to achieve an 11% increase in annual giving for 2026. We were really amazed by your response—a 15% increase! But that wasn’t the end of giving for the year. Our conversations in the fall around Our Money Story generated some energy about other donations.

In November and December, we received FOUR anonymous, unsolicited additional gifts:

• one to get us over the hump of a key immediate property project (making the balcony suitable for seating on Christmas. Go up and take a look some Sunday.),
• $5,000 to improve A/V (which is already underway so that the mics don’t cut out and we’ll be able to live stream services),
• $20,000 to do improvements to our Commons (a refresh to make the space more welcoming and useful. More information will follow about this in the next few months.),
• and another $10k for “whatever the rector needs.”

This is so amazing! We are truly blessed here at Grace. Please join us in thanks to God for these gifts and the wonderful community which we continue to create.
