We ask for your support for our 160 x 160 Anniversary Appeal. The first stage of this project has cost us €70.000. €29.000 will be covered by a grant. We therefore once again ask for your support for our 160 x 160 Anniversary Appeal to finance this and further work (especially phase 2 exterior brickwork in 2026):
As Christians we believe and proclaim that everything is a gift from God. When we share our resources, our financial treasures, as well as our time and talent, we share what God has given us in the first place. This is also an act and sign of our gratitude! For that reason, we have chosen “For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you” (1 Chronicles 29:14) as the motto of this year’s Stewardship Campaign.
If we have your address, you will receive a letter asking you to consider making a financial commitment / increasing the amount you pledge. You can use this form – either put it in the plate on Sunday or send it to the office – or just send an email to pledge@staugustines.de giving us the amount (and frequency, i.e. weekly, monthly, annually) of your pledge. Whatever means you choose, please let us know by Sunday, November 2, our Pledge Ingathering Sunday. Thank you!
