Dear Siblings in Christ,
Giving Tuesday calls us to refocus on what matters. For the Metropolitan New York Synod, we seek to reinforce the ministries that anchor our life together. Give today to support our ministries.
Across our synod, congregations are navigating real pressures: aging facilities, changing neighborhoods, constrained budgets, and shifting patterns of engagement. Through all of these challenges, our churches make powerful work happen every day: feeding neighbors with dignity, building faith formation that resonates across generations, and forming new partnerships that embody care, presence, and public witness.
Your Giving Tuesday gift strengthens our shared ministry. It provides practical resources to congregations discerning their next step. It supports the leadership training, coaching, and financial planning that help ministries operate with clarity and confidence. It fuels initiatives that build resilience, equipping congregations to focus on function, not facade, and to steward the gifts they have with purpose.
Together, we can sustain the core work that keeps our synod strong: justice-oriented ministries, multicultural initiatives, and the networks that connect leaders across boroughs, counties, and contexts. When you give, you help ensure that congregations are not walking alone, especially in seasons of transition or challenge.
The Metro New York Synod has a long tradition of showing up on the ground, in the community, and alongside leaders who carry both the weight and the promise of local ministry. Giving Tuesday is your opportunity to invest directly in that ongoing work.
Your generosity today helps build the foundation for where we are called next, faithfully, collaboratively, and with the courage to imagine more.
Sincerely,
Bishop Katrina Foster
and Branden Dupree, Director of Evangelical Mission and Advocacy Coordinator
