Welcome

Dear St. Lawrence Family,

With joy and gratitude, I invite you to “Forward in Faith”—our capital campaign for St. Lawrence, Libertyville.

St. Lawrence is a congregation that has always embraced the future with curiosity and courage, and now is the time to invest in our vision for our extraordinary community. While we cannot know what the future holds, this campaign invites us to put our trust in God with bravery and boldness, trusting that the One who has led us this far by faith will continue to guide our steps.

Together, we will address major building needs: a new roof and an updated HVAC system for our building. We will also invest in what you have consistently identified as one of our top priorities—our growing work with children, families, and youth—by raising funds for a new staff position to nurture this population.

We have already come so far by faith. Now is the time to join hands and step forward, with joy and thanksgiving, into the future God is preparing for us.

With gratitude and blessings,

The Rev. Kristin L. Saylor
Rector

Campaign Prayer

O Great Creator and giver of all good gifts, we the family of St. Lawrence thank you for all we have been given. We are grateful for our parish members who have come before us and worshipped in the midst of Libertyville for over 100 years. We are blessed with a vibrant congregation with many gifts. As we begin this capital campaign, we ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit to open our hearts. Enliven and ignite us to share of ourselves generously. Give us insight, energy, and courage as we contemplate our giving, to accomplish with joy your work for generations, both in and outside these walls. Keep us ever focused on the vision you have set before us, “To love one another as you love us.” We ask all this to your honor and glory. AMEN
