$600,000 Stewardship Challenge Our Stewardship Campaign needs to raise $600,000 by February 1st to maintain the church’s current programs and staffing this year. Last year, we pledged $5.2 million. Today, our pledges are at $4.7 million. The needed $600,000 will only let us maintain the status quo. Be bold: consider doubling your pledge. At the least, everyone needs to increase their pledge 10%. If you haven’t pledged yet, please do it now. Everyone is needed. If you have questions, contact Mary Kardell, Director of Giving, at mkardell@saintmichael.org.
