St. James’ Vision of Stewardship 2008
Our Generations Commitment
From being rebuilt from the fire in the early 1900’s to
being renovated and reinvigorated in the early 2000’s St.
James Church continues to strive to meet the needs of its
family. It is our generations turn.
You have all had input into recognizing and planning what
our goals are in refurbishing our physical plant, but we
also have to plan for our day to day vision of who we are
and what our vision is. We at St. James have a vision of
building our Christian Community. We are reaching out
and expanding our hospitality to each of our family
members through our new café, we are reaching out to
our community through expanded programs in outreach,
we are supporting our children with the addition of two
new youth choirs and a dynamite education program. We
are increasing our staff and their duties and upgrading
office equipment. We are striving for excellence in all that
we do so we can continue that heritage that we have
been so blessed to inherit.
This will require an increase in our operational budget of
22% for 2008. We will need to realize $602,590.00 in
pledges to reach this goal. Saint James’ is committed to
providing programs that assist us in our daily lives in living
more rewarding and fulfilled lives. These programs are of
vital importance to us individually and to the existence of
the Church as a whole.
Our goals are ambitious but obtainable. So were those of
the St. James’ generation that preceded us. Please be
generous and help us to see our vision come to
fruitfulness.
