From the Treasurer — December 2024

As we approach the end of the calendar year, please ensure your pledge and open plate giving is up to date. Consider dropping checks and cash into the plate this Sunday. If sending in funds electronically, ensure your payments are scheduled and made before Dec. 31. Stock transfers or distributions from other assets require additional logistics and timing is key; please reach out to parish accountant Casey Rigney (accountant@saintjameswarrenton.org or 818-571-5904‬) this week to confirm any expected contributions from these sources (and consult your tax professional).

Did you get an unexpected year-end bonus? Prayerfully consider tithing a portion of that to Saint James’.

As noted at the annual parish meeting in January, the church expected to operate at a deficit in 2024. The deficit forecast has been cut by prudent expense management and generous giving. Your extra year-end contribution will assist to keep the church in a strong financial position as we prepare for our 2025 projects and staffing.

Any 2025 pledge cards still sitting around on your counter or desk? Make sure to drop those off this week as well so the church leadership can move forward with 2025 budgeting.

Thank you for your continued support of our parish!
