We are united as Christians through our love, our service, and our commitment to Christ. To support the work of this parish and its ministries, and as one of the basic forms of Christian stewardship, we ask all members of our community of faith to contribute financially in the form of a yearly pledge. The amount is a matter between you and God, and is confidential.

As we continue our 2005-2007 The Centennial Years celebration, we have much work to do to serve God and His people. It is an exciting time for us at St. James by-the-Sea. Giving to God is our joy, and, as it happens, it ultimately results in our being able to live lives that are fuller, happier, and more satisfying. To the extent that we give, we likewise receive.

So that we can plan our work for the year realistically and budget responsibly, we need to know your intentions concerning giving to the church. We invite everyone who worships at St. James to "strive to tithe" to the work of God in the church and the world. We hope you will make your pledge intention known to us by completing a pledge card, which is available at the church office, and returning it to us.
