Stewardship

Dear Friends,

One of the beautiful images Jesus uses for the disciples is calling them the “light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14). As their descendants, we too are given the job to bear witness and shine the light of Christ in our community, a light that pierces the darkness, brings a glow and warmth to everyone in our midst, and is a beacon that helps people find safe harbor in their time of need.

For 158 years, Grosse Pointe Memorial Church has been a light for Jesus Christ, a beacon of hope on the shores of Lake St. Clair. Our desire as a church is to continue to spread that light for generations to come. That is both our charge and our joy.

And that is where you come in. In this pamphlet, you will find information on our 2024 Stewardship Campaign. Our theme this year is “A Beacon of Hope for Generations,” and reflects our continued priorities on investing in and growing our children and youth ministries at GPMC. Our leadership has established plans this year to grow involvement with young families in our church significantly, with three–year goals of engaging at least 50 youth and 75 children on a weekly basis by 2025. All this, while continuing to offer our quality worship, education, fellowship and service opportunities that makes Memorial Church the vibrant church we know and love.

But we need your help to do so. Please join me and my family in prayerfully, joyfully, and generously supporting the ministry of GPMC this year by participating in our 2024 Shine Bright Stewardship: A Beacon of Hope for Generations Campaign. Your pledge makes a difference.

Let’s be a beacon of hope together!

With joy,

Rev. Dr. Jeff Lincicome
