STEWARDSHIP 2025
Dear friends,
As the members and friends of Central Union Church, when we gather,
we gather together in fellowship and faith to thank God for the journey we share as a church community. Our history is rich with moments of God’s grace, guidance, and blessings. We have seen God’s Holy Spirit at work in countless ways in the life of this church. Many of us have fond memories of what this church used to be, the kinds of activities and ministries that used to happen here and the people who used to be a part of this community. And we look around, and things look and feel different. And we long for the days of old.
Come, let us “Imagine Together”. I wonder if we can imagine the new things that God is doing in our midst? God is calling us to imagine and embrace the future God dreams for this church. Together, we will begin dreaming and imagining a vibrant and vital future for Central Union Church including new ministries, opportunities for mission, and ways to deepen our faith and fellowship. Let us be open to the new things God is doing in our midst, trusting that God will guide us every step of the way.
I wonder, what do you imagine and dream for Central Union Church? What are you willing to share of your time, your talent and your treasure to make those dreams and that vision a reality?
Our faithful financial stewardship is one way you can support the church as we work to make our dreams and vision a reality. Your generosity supports our mission and ministry and enables us to share the message that our God is doing a new thing in our world. On October 6th, we will begin our 2025 stewardship campaign to help us as we “Imagine Together” the future that God has for our church. Our campaign will conclude on Stewardship Sunday on October 27th with a special celebration in worship and we hope you will be intentional about being with us, not simply to offer your Estimate of Giving card (which you’ll receive later in the month), but also to join in worship that day.
This is an exciting time to be a part of Central Union Church as we work together to discern God’s dream for us, as we take some risks of faith, as we think creatively and imaginatively and as we remain open to the movement of God’s Spirit in and through us while always trusting that we are held safe in the hands of God.
Thank you for your continued faithfulness, love, and support. I am excited to see what God has in store for us and am grateful to be on this journey with each of you.
Blessings and peace,
Rev. A. Rushan Sinnaduray, Senior Minister
Troy Tomita, Chief Operations Officer
