2024 Stewardship Campaign
Our 2024 Stewardship Campaign is inspired by the phrase, “Walk in Love,” which is contented in the Letter to Ephesians 5:1-2, “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Through our Christian journey we are called to walk in love seeing Christ’s face in others. Then, we invite to all our family of faith members to support Saint Michael’s Church to continuing serving our communities of Ridgecrest and Inyokern, to spread the message of Love of our Lord Jesus Christ and helping all who are in need. Our Commitment Sunday will be October 27. Please, be generous for all that you have received from God. Pledge Cards are available on the round table in the Church Lobby. You may also deposit your Card in the Little Church which is on the same table.
