This is the time of year at St. C's when we think about financial stewardship. Each week for the next six weeks a different parishioner will be sharing why they give, and how they decide. We invite you to join us in a time of thinking about the spiritual practice of stewarding our money, as individuals and as a community of faith.

The act of pledging each year during the annual stewardship drive is so much a part of me that I simply cannot imagine not giving.  I believe that every pledge regardless of the size is important and that giving financially to support our mission both within our walls and in our community is part of my call as a Christian and a member of this church.

  The amount I pledge each year has changed according to financial circumstances, but it has always been my goal to steadily increase my financial commitment if I am able to.  This has not always been possible, but I remain focused on moving forward.  As I transitioned into retirement this past year, it was challenging to determine what my pledge would look like.  But there is no doubt that I will continue to pledge as I have always done.
