The following article was written by the Reverend Canon J. Hugh Magers and was published in the July 2007 issue of Networking (the newsletter of The Episcopal Network for Stewardship). Canon Magers starts out with a rather blunt assessment of the relationship between parishioners and the amount of their giving. But, as you'll see, there's a purpose to his approach. By the end of the article, you'll see the profound connections he draws among giving, witnessing and evangelism.

It is said that the art of handwritten correspondence is in decline, but St. Thomas' parishioner Meg Stephens is doing her part to keep the practice alive.

We believe we have found and dismantled the last scrap book. We are also collecting current information as we go.
