Stewardship 2024
The third and final stewardship letter is in the mail this week along with the 2024 Pledge Card. Please prayerfully consider your annual pledge to support ministry, community life, and the positive downtown presence of the Cathedral of Saint James. We are not an endowed congregation, so our annual budget depends almost entirely upon the generosity of our members and friends.
You can also submit a pledge online using the link below.
Gather & Grow Presentation
This coming Sunday at 9 am and 11:45 am all are invited to see the preliminary drawings for the proposed elevator addition. Senior Warden Liz Burman and I will lead the discussion at 9 am, and will be joined by our architect, Joe Dzierla, at 11:45. Each presentation will be no more than 1/2 hour and - while there are so many other exciting things to discuss - we will limit our conversation to the elevator project. Come check it out!
Another Presentation
There will be another presentation at each service this coming Sunday. It's great news. That's all I'm saying for now.
