Planting Seeds and Watching them Grow!
The one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. (2 Corinthians 9:6)
It’s that time once again where we are asked to make a commitment of financial support—a pledge—to God’s work done through St. James. This year, we want to emphasize that giving is like planting a seed. Through pledging, we are tending to God’s garden, participating in God’s work, and trusting that God can make all things grow. This year, we aren’t asking for a specific dollar amount. We believe that God will provide enough for our church to do what God wants it to do. Rather, we are asking that every member turn in a pledge card, that every member plants a seed that we’ll nourish together. The amount that you give is between you and God. Our hope is that we all will give generously and responsibly. But overall, we want all of our members engaged in God’s works of nurturing and growing.
Flower Pots and Stewardship Leaves
Every person who turns in a pledge card for 2026 will receive a specially made flower pot, which you can take home, water, and watch grow, just like God’s work here in our church! You'll also receive a leaf to add to our "Stewardship Tree" in the Narthex.
Stewardship Dedication Sunday, Nov 30th
While you can turn in a pledge card anytime between now and the end of the year, we will have a special ceremony to dedicate our pledges on November 30th, during the worship season. We give to God what is God's!

Weekly Worship Video
At St. James, we believe that worship is at its fullest when we are together, in person, standing with one another in God’s presence. However, we also know that getting to church is not a practical reality for all people. We therefore offer recordings of our weekly service (with the Children’s Sermon and the Prayers of the People edited out, for privacy reasons). Videos will be here, through YouTube, each Sunday by around 3PM.
