2027 Giving Campaign
“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:33
Life is filled with questions, seasons of uncertainty, and the temptation to search for meaning in all kinds of unfulfilling places. The book of Ecclesiastes reminds us that - while we cannot control every circumstance or answer every question - we can learn to approach each day as a gift from God. We’ve been invited to look beyond fleeting accomplishments and temporary pleasures to discover the lasting purpose found in knowing our Creator and living faithfully in His presence. When we love, serve, work, and share with gratitude, even ordinary moments become opportunities to reflect God’s goodness and grace. Our journey on earth may be brief, but that journey is not without purpose. As we offer our time, gifts, and resources wholeheartedly to our eternal God, we participate in something greater than ourselves: participating in kingdom service with the One who lovingly gives our lives meaning and calls us to make a difference in the world.
Your tithes and offerings help us to live into these commitments together. For your ease, please consider donating online or setting up a recurring donation through Easy Tithe, which allows a consistent amount to be made directly from your chosen form of payment and makes giving a regular priority. Donations may also be mailed to St. John’s United Methodist Church at 7372 Marine Road - Edwardsville, IL 62025.
