ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S CHURCH  ·   325 Park Avenue at 51st Street  ·   New York, NY 10022  ·  212.378.0200  · 12/29/09
Christmas 2009 at St. Bart's
DEAR FRIENDS:
In these times, we've all learned to adjust to economic realities.

St. Bart's made big adjustments this year - - as you have every right to expect. But we haven't lost our heart. And we haven't lost our sense of priority: we're here to bring God's love to the city and beyond. To offer powerful worship, beautiful music, a wide open door, engaging teaching for all ages, and faithful, daily service for the needs of the poor.

There is still time to support this work, and there is still a need for that support to bring our budget into balance.

We respectfully ask for your gift - - to add, where possible, to what you may have already done for St. Bart's. Or to give for the first time.

And, for all your prayers and past support, deep thanks.

Christmas blessings and hope for the New Year,


Bill Tully
for the whole St. Bart's family
