Stewardship Annual Pledge Campaign 2009

St. James' Parish Stewardship Drive 2009

Every ministry in which we serve and everything we do here at St. James' Parish is possible because of the financial support of our generous parishioners. Thank You! The Stewardship Committee requests your prayers and support as our 2009 Stewardship Campaign operates through October 24th, 2008.

Your pledge is an affirmation of your relationship to God. It demonstrates your gratitude for all the blessings in your life, and your acknowledgement of the reality that all we have and all that we experience are God's gifts to us. Your support for the ministries of our Parish returns a portion of God's gracious gifts so that the work we are called to do can effectively be accomplished, and so that our individual relationships with God can nurture and grow.

To allow our Finance Committee to more accurately prepare our 2009 operating budget, we request that you PLEASE submit your 2009 Pledge no later than November 1, 2008. Our heartfelt Thanks goes to everyone who has already submitted their 2009 Pledge.

“Stewardship is
everything we do after we say we believe.”
