Ready . . . Set . . . Go!
GET READY for the coming adventure with our new rector. GET SET to participate in this year’s annual General Fund campaign. GO FORWARD to reach our parish and financial objectives.
|
Ready
During Advent, we sang Prepare the Way of the Lord. That song was so appropriate as we have spent the last year preparing to call our next Rector. We have called our next Rector, Megan Miller, and the Rectory is being prepared. We continue to feel God’s presence through our compassionate community and vibrant worship. We couldn’t have done all these things without your gifts of time, talent and money. |
Set
Now take a moment to reflect on the role that St. James the Less has in your life. It is your financial contribution that supports all facets of church life and operations. We thank you for your past generosity, and we hope you will consider increasing your participation this year. |
Go
We are coming to the end of the season of Epiphany. Like the Wise Ones who carried gifts to Jesus, we as parishioners need to bear gifts as well. We want St. James the Less to continue to be a strong faith community with broad financial support for its day to day operations. Your pledge makes a difference. |
Please review material below that outlines the financial needs for the 2023 Operating Budget. The General Fund, which is supported by pledges, is what supports the day-to-day operations of St. James the Less, including keeping lights on and paying our staff. Your pledge to the General Fund is critical to the on-going operations of our parish.
We are blessed to be a part of this community as we GO FORWARD to welcome our new rector. Thank you for joining us in support of the 2023 General Fund Pledge Campaign.

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.
|
Make a Meaningful Pledge
Making a pledge at any amount supports our parish planning. Making an increase to your pledge will help us to better support our mission and vision.
|
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 such as Sunday School, Youth Group, and God First Friday Bible Study.
|
Day to Day Operations
Your contribution not only provides salaries and benefits to the clergy and staff who lead and support our community, but also covers the expenses of the lovely buildings, and sacred grounds that are home to our worship and programs.
