Dear Friends at Vista,

Over the past seven years, our community has navigated transition with deep grace and quiet resilience. We have honored our roots, supported one another through shifting landscapes, and trusted God’s guidance along every step of the road.

Now, we stand at a hopeful threshold.

In Isaiah’s prophetic vision, God calls a community to transform tools of self-preservation into plowshares—instruments crafted to turn soil, plant seeds, and cultivate new life. The Plowshare Pledge is our invitation to move from a survival posture into an active, outward investment in our neighborhood. Our church budget isn't just operational line items; it is how we put justice, kindness, and grace into daily action.

As you pray over your financial commitment for the coming year, we invite you to review A Guide to Intentional Giving: Taking the Next Step Forward on the back page. Whether you are choosing your starting point or stepping up to the next level of giving, every pledge helps ground our ongoing mission.

Thank you for your generosity, your co-ownership, and your shared faith as we cultivate a harvest of peace together.

With gratitude,

Vista Stewardship Planning Team
