Dear Parish Family,

Living Life Together! Your presence is essential. At St. John Neumann we are creating and nurturing a welcoming community connecting people in Christ Jesus. As a disciple of Jesus Christ, thank you for participating in the mission of leading people to a transformative encounter with him. 

While we accomplished a lot this past year, including expanding our Family of Faith, investing in Hallow and social media presence, strengthening our security on campus while increasing outreach and service outside our walls, there is more we plan to do. We need your support to prepare more people for sacraments, provide discipleship training and other formation, developing relationships in Life Groups and the Super Neighbor program.  I am asking you to financially support this vision as well as participate in these transformative opportunities of encounter of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As you encounter Jesus – you will want to share your story and invite others into communion with us. 

To fulfill this mission and purpose, I ask you to consider your gift of financial support to the parish offertory. We also would like to learn from you if our parish is helping to connect you to Christ and others. So the staff can plan our resources, please submit the enclosed pledge card and enroll or increase your online giving through our website at saintjohnsunbury.org/give. It also helps us to serve you better when you are registered in the parish and give in an identifiable way.   You may direct questions to our parish Stewardship Director, Jackie Sutton at jsutton@stjohnsunbury.org or 740-965-1358 x123.

Thank you in advance for your prayerful participation in building a community of faith.

As your pastor, I pray you each have a transformative encounter with Jesus Christ.  

You are in my prayers,

Reverend Dan Dury

Shepherd, St. John Neumann
