Dear Friends,

Lent is a time of contemplating our relationship with God and God's Church, and it is fitting that this March should be the launch of our first ever “stewardship month” campaign here in the Eastern Townships.

Our theme for this year's campaign is "Growing God’s Kingdom Together," as we strive to plant the seeds of longevity and lasting ministry presence in our region.

Stewardship is more than just a membership fee or dues owed to a club; it is an invitation to make a priority of our relationship with God, and to become active partners in growing God’s Kingdom. This month, we invite the amazing people of our congregations to make a financial contribution to their church -- such that we can make our dreams possible for the future.
You will be hearing more about financial stewardship as the month goes on, particularly including snapshots of why people support the life of their church, written by lay leaders in our communities: John Dinsmore, François Morin, Kate Murray, Randy Gates, and Janet Allingham.
For some, this stewardship month might be the first time they make an offering. For others, it might be the first time in a long time. Still for others, giving might be an overflowing part of their usual spiritual practices, giving back for what God has blessed their lives with.
And, for those who are regular givers, we encourage you to think about giving just a little measure more, as we move into larger financial commitments in the development of a new regional ministry for our area. The question to ask ourselves isn’t how much is enough, but how much do we want to grow God’s Kingdom together?
Giving can be done by mailing in cheques, or online for Grace Church (Sutton) using CanadaHelps:

In Christ, from whom all blessings flow,
