One important element of being a faithful steward, or caretaker, of God's gifts to us, is financial giving. Tithes and offerings, given on a regular basis, help ensure that St. James' will continue to offer nurturing ministry and give generously to missions.

Pledging is giving with a promise and a plan. Pledges are to church income as salaries are to household income. They finance church obligations for the coming year. They make  vision a reality. Prepare to pledge… begin with prayer. Please consider the concept of proportional giving.
