"Growing Our Faith Through Generosity"
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace".
- 1 Peter 4:10
October 2026
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our lives remind us daily of how much we need one another and how deeply we rely on God's grace in every season of our lives. This is especially true in times of uncertainty when we hold fast to the promise that “God is our refuge and our strength a very present help in times of trouble.” - Psalm 46
When fear or anxiety take hold, our faith must remind us that we are surrounded by God's love. We, who walk with Christ are empowered by the spirit to live with courage, compassion and generous hearts. Together at Vanderbilt Presbyterian Church, we are a living witness to the fearless love of Christ. We are blessed with thriving ministries and our outreach into the community continues to expand. In order to keep growing this impact of faith, we need your generous support.
As you consider your financial commitment, we ask you to give thought to what VPC means in your life. Your financial commitment sustains everything we do: inspiring worship and music, pastoral care, outreach to those in need, encouraging opportunities for our children's, youth, and adult ministries that transform lives. Your support is more than a mere donation. It is an expression of faith, a spiritual practice, and a tangible act of hope. It declares your trust in God's abundance and your belief in the mission we share. We invite you to take the next step—be bold—be generous with your gifts. Reflect on the gratitude and hope that fill your life with blessings. Together we can continue to be a spiritual Home where Christ is known through our living, both within and beyond our walls.
Yours in Christ,
Stewardship Ministry Team of Session
Michael Bevilacqua and Lynn Thomas
