Stewardship

Our campaign prayer

God of opportunity, you want to be in relationship with us, your creatures. You desire justice and peace. You never force yourself upon us, but invite us to join with you in co-creating a more just and peaceful world. Help us to hear your invitations, be they whispered or loud, and encourage us to respond to them with enthusiasm, joy and energy. We pray all this in the name of your Son, our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Amen.

An invitation

At St James this fall, we look forward to renewing our commitment to our mission to value tradition and seek new ways to do God’s will, by serving the world God loves. We plan to accomplish this renewal through stewardship, that is, using our collective gifts of time, talent and treasure to do God’s will.

We strive to serve God and our community through various ministries, including worship and prayer, opportunities for growing in faith, reaching beyond St James to serve the wider world, caring for one another, as we journey through ordinary, difficult or joyful times.

Over the past few years many new initiatives have been undertaken in these ministries. We want to share information about these programs and invite you to participate in them. Also, we want to inform you about the financial health of St James as there is also a financial element to serving God’s world.
