Most of our parish’s income comes from member pledges. Your pledge supports our joyful worship, thoughtful education offerings, and the work of our ministries. Consider paying your pledge in regular installments throughout the year so the vestry can better budget.
Every gift is important! Thank you for your faith and commitment to St. Philip’s.
2023 Fall Stewardship:
We Will!
Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their lives in Christ?
“We Will!”
Stewardship comes from our baptismal vows
Stewardship is more than an annual pledge campaign. It’s living out our baptismal covenant to support each other in our lives in Christ. It’s about taking care of what’s entrusted to us year-round: our church, our community, our future.
We Will. But how?
Pledging is important because it allows us to plan our budget, programs, assistance – in other words, it allows us to be church. This pledge season, we have the opportunity to ask ourselves – how exactly will we commit to living out our baptismal vows?
Pledging is especially important this year because economic pressures are affecting our church budget the same way they’re affecting everyone: inflation and expenses are up, and our endowment income is down.
Ways to pledge: Make a pledge online, return your completed pledge form, or bring your pledge to Commitment Sunday on November 19. Download a pledge packet.
How will you answer?
This pledge season, please prayerfully discern how God is calling you to support our mutual life in Christ. Every pledge we receive is meaningful.
If pledging is in your practice, can you increase your pledge by 15 percent?
If pledging is not in your practice, please prayerfully consider honoring your commitment to St. Philip’s with a pledge toward our 2024 budget.
