Dear Redeemer Family,

As the year winds to a close, we are all being bombarded with solicitations for End-of-Year Giving from non-profits, schools, ministries, and other organizations. In the midst of our collective request-fatigue, I would like to offer us a few fresh things to consider regarding financial giving to the ministry of our parish.

CAVEAT: First, let me be clear on this, Redeemer is in a strong position financially. The Lord has given us an abundance of resources through your generosity over the past five years. We are on track to make budget. Thank you, church family, for your generosity. It is making a significant impact in the lives of many people both inside and outside our parish.

REAL NEEDS: Second, it is important for you to know that, even though our church is thriving financially, we have very real financial needs that will materialize in the coming year. Our parish is growing, and with growth comes increased needs across all ministries. We need to hire more staff, we need to furnish and use our recently purchased Parish House, we need to launch new ministries, and we need to send out new church plants. If we are to care for and serve the new people who have joined this Fall and the new people we anticipate joining this Spring, then the budget needs to grow.

THREE WAYS: So, with gratitude for our strong financial position and hopeful anticipation of what new challenge 2022 will bring, I’d like to invite you to consider making an End-of-Year financial gift to Redeemer in one of three ways:

Direct Giving—You can go to the giving page of our website, follow the instructions, and make a gift with a check or credit card.
Appreciated Stock—Shares of Stock, Mutual Funds, or other Securities can be given to Redeemer. Securities should be transferred to:
Wells Fargo Advisors
Name: Redeemer Anglican Church
Account #: 55298563
DTC #: 0141
Please notify us of your gift at finance@redeemerrva.org to ensure an accurate tax receipt.
Name Redeemer as a Beneficiary in your Will—While this practice has faded over the years, there was a time in church history when it was common for followers of Jesus to leave a portion of their inheritance for their home parish. If you would like assistance with this, please contact our finance team.

Redeemer family, I love you all, I am so humbled by and thankful for your generosity and faithful stewardship over the years.

In the Father’s love,
