STEWARDSHIP

2024

A Future with Hope

In this season of stewardship, let us show our joy for God’s gifts to us and look forward eagerly to “a future with hope.”

These past twelve months have been a busy time in the life of Good Samaritan, from saying goodbye to Father Steve, to supporting Mother Charissa in her role as Interim Rector (providing a much-needed source of stability and continuity), to adding Renée Smith’s administrative skills, to finding our new rector, Father Chris McPeak. All this was done in parallel with completing a successful leadership transition in our preschool (thank you again, Lisa, and welcome Susan).

Having successfully navigated these important transitions and with fresh leadership at the helm, our stewardship theme this year seems particularly apt: A Future with Hope.

As illustrated in our origin story of Father Fred knocking on doors in what was then a much more rural Sammamish, and igniting the spark of interest that would be nurtured and grown by the Holy Spirit to become our parish of today, resiliency is a hallmark of our church community, which proves to be, time and time again, unflappable.

In this season of stewardship, let us show our joy for God’s gifts to us and look forward eagerly to “a future with hope.”
