Telling the Old Old Story In A New Day

Tell me the same old story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear;
And when the Lord's bright glory
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story:
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole."
​
-from the Hymn and Poem "The Old, Old Story" by Katherine Hankey

Be a part of the St. James the Less story by making your pledge today.

Parish Life

Your pledge supports vibrant worship, new music programs, special services, fellowship, and fun celebrations -- all of which help us foster deeper spiritual growth as a community in faith.

Faith Formation

We become a stronger faith community by supporting formation programs for children, youth, and adults.  Programs such as Godly Play, 30 Worthy Minutes, Christian Meditation, and Living Compass.

Clergy, Staff, and Church Maintenance

Your contribution ensures that our Clergy and Staff are supported in the work they do. Pledge income also supports regular building and grounds maintenance -- keeping St. James the Less a beautiful place to worship.

​Our Lord said that we are called to love God with our whole heart, mind, soul, and strength.

A recorded pledge is your promise to give a certain amount of money to support the life, mission, and ministry of St. James the Less.

What is a pledge?

The Annual Pledge Drive is a way to put your whole self into your faith.

Giving is a spiritual practice.

When deciding what to give, choose an amount that is meaningful and reflects the importance of St. James the Less in your life.

We encourage everyone to participate at whatever level they can.

The Vestry is naming this year a "challenge year" for Annual Giving due to a predicted deficit if pledged giving does not increase in 2018. Stepping up our pledge
​income is an important goal as we move forward in faith.
