\u201cGive, and it will be given to you\u2026\u201d\u00a0 Luke 6:38<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know you\u2019ve heard and read a lot of reminders about turning in your pledge for 2016.\u00a0 Well, this will be one more time because pledging to St. James\u2019 is something I\u2019m asking everyone who calls St. James\u2019 \u201ctheir church\u201d to do.\u00a0 We are off to a good start, but we need everyone\u2019s participation in order to know what kind of budget to approve at the Annual Meeting in January.\u00a0 We need everyone\u2019s support to keep the lights on, pay the bills, provide Sunday morning church services, to reach out into our community and share God\u2019s love \u2013 just to name a few of the things your pledge helps St. James\u2019 do.<\/p>\n

I pledge to St. James\u2019 because I am grateful for the gifts God has given me.\u00a0 I also pledge because I love St. James\u2019 Church and the St. James\u2019 Community.\u00a0 I love Sunday morning services, the warm and friendly people, the support in times of need, the educational programs, the outreach opportunities that make a difference in our community, the sermons, the social times, the music, the children, the Memorial Garden, the beautiful campus\u2026I could go on and on, but I think you will agree that we are very fortunate at St. James\u2019.<\/p>\n

So, please, if you haven\u2019t turned in your pledge for 2016, do so soon.\u00a0 You may make a pledge to St. James\u2019 by completing a Pledge Form and placing it in the offering plate on Sunday mornings, by mailing it to the Church Office (the green envelopes are pre-addressed), or by submitting it online via the St. James\u2019 website (www.saintj.com<\/a>).\u00a0 Pledge Forms are available in the rack outside the Church Office, or call the office (797-1492) to have one mailed to you (or ask an usher for one on Sunday morning).<\/p>\n

Please join me in making a pledge to St. James\u2019 for 2016 by giving prayerful consideration to what you will contribute.\u00a0 Stewardship is our humble acknowledgement that all good things come from God.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year \u2013 I look forward to seeing you at St. James\u2019!<\/p>\n
