Dear Parish Family,

I hope that you have had an opportunity to listen to Canon David's recent homily, either in person or online (see the livestream video below or read the sermon here).  As mentioned in David's sermon, we are moving to an electronic system with our Stewardship Campaign thereby reducing costs and enabling faster response time.

This message provides a link to the Pledge Campaign resources which include:

  • a letter from our Rector
  • a secure online form for making your pledge
  • a proportional giving worksheet as a resource for you to use in the privacy of your own home 
  • an outline of St. Jude's ministries and mission and the associated financial needs for doing these things

As I shared with you last year, Brian and I signed up for Pre-Authorized Giving, after several years of using the envelope system or dropping a bill in the collection basket.  We truly appreciate knowing that our offering is now a regular gift at the beginning of each month.  This year, we found the worksheet resources extremely helpful in determining whether we could increase our pledge this year.  We were happy to decide that we could move up a step!

Please join us and prayerfully consider how much you can pledge to St. Jude's for 2025, to continue the important work that we do in the community.

Blessings,
