This Year’s Goal: 100% Member Pledging
It’s that time once again where we are asked to make a commitment of financial support—a pledge—to God’s work done through St. James. This year, we want to emphasize that giving is a spiritual discipline, an exercise that helps us strengthen our faith. Through pledging, we affirm that everything we have comes from God and belongs to God. We pledge because we believe that God will provide what we need. We pledge because we know that our identities rest in God, not in our money.
So this year we aren’t asking for a specific dollar amount. We believe that God will provide enough for our church to do what it does. Rather, we are asking that every member turn in a pledge card—100% member pledging. The amount that you give is between you and God (note, the Pastor never knows how much any person gives). The hope is that we all will give generously and responsibly. But overall, we want all of our members engaged in the spiritual practice of giving—and growing toward God. That’s why we exist as a church.

Weekly Worship Video
At St. James, we believe that worship is at its fullest when we are together, in person, standing with one another in God’s presence. However, we also know that getting to church is not a practical reality for all people. We therefore offer recordings of our weekly service (with the Children’s Sermon and the Prayers of the People edited out, for privacy reasons). Videos will be here, through YouTube, each Sunday by around 3PM.
