Introducing: Stand Up in Faith Campaign

Dear Friends of St Stephen!
As St. Stephen launches the Stand Up in Faith! fall campaign in August, we hope this devotional booklet will help you and your family prayerfully consider the time, talents and gifts you have available to dedicate to St. Stephen’s missions and ministries. Below is a list of goals for the Stand Up in Faith! campaign along with the campaign prayer.


Goals of Stand Up in Faith! Campaign

1. Stand Up new ministries… to be served in our new Community Life Center and in our community at large.
2. Stand Up a new minister… by providing seed funding for an Associate Pastor.
3. Stand Up a new year… by supporting the operational needs of St. Stephen in the 2012/13 budget year.
4. Stand Up to stand down…standing down, or retiring our mortgage debt will free us to answer God’s call and accomplish all of our goals for growth in ministry!
5. Stand Up in Faith!…that with God’s help we will accomplish these goals – and much more!


Campaign Prayer

God of all Grace,
Help us to use our gifts so that we may rejoice through all our days as we serve You in our community. Let us stand up for Christ and allow the work of our hands to always glorify You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
