Stewardship

At our 2020 Annual Meeting, as a parish, we decided to move from a Dues System of parish support to a Pledge System, offering our free will gifts to the Lord in grateful thanksgiving for all He does for us. This change moves us from a “minimal” amount, i.e. “dues” to “maximal” amount based on the gifts that God has given us to steward in our lives. During the month of September, we are asking that we review our financial commitment to St. John’s and, if spiritually and financially able, to increase our gifts in support of the work of the Lord here at our parish. This will help the parish council better plan our income vs. our expenses for the upcoming fiscal year.

We ask that you fill out this form and return it in the envelope provided in the offering basket or via mail by mid October each year. Your weekly pledge will be kept in confidence and only the amount indicated will be used to tally up our anticipated operating income. Feast days and other contributions would be in addition to your weekly pledge. If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to any Council Member.
