Membership & Stewardship
The Year Of Church and home
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
JOSHUA 24:15
- The Pastor and Parish Council of St. Mary Armenian Church encourages us to
share of all that we are and of all that we have –
Of our Time, and of our Talent, and of our Treasures.
- God has blessed us with many gifts and talents which we share with God and
God's people.
"But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as
generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what
comes from your hand."
1 Chronicles 29:14
We must offer to God a portion of everything we possess. A human being is
made of soul, body and possessions. The soul offers prayers; the body,
prostrations; and from our possessions a portion to God.
St. Gregory of Datev (1346-1440)
Who are members of the church? Who are stewards?
Members are those who commit to the annual membership dues of $175. Stewards
are members who contribute to the church over and beyond the standard membership
dues of $175 per member each according to their ability.
Why should I become a member and/or steward?
Because you recognize the significant role the church plays in your life,
and you want to support her mission. As a member, you have the privilege of
participating in the decision-making process by attending and voting at the
Annual Parish Assembly (dues must be paid in full by year-end in order to vote).
As a steward, you participate in the implementation of programming and projects
which support the church's mission.
Our Lord Jesus Christ says,
"Give, and it will be given to you… For with the measure you use, it will be
measured to you."
Luke 6:38
