Our 2026 Annual Pledging season is now underway, and this year’s theme is Growing for Tomorrow, Today! This Theme captures our shared commitment to nurturing the future of our church community. Read more below about how Carly supports St. James and Growing for Tomorrow, Today with annual giving.

For our family of five, St. James has truly become a home. Watching our oldest child be confirmed, seeing our children serve as acolytes, and knowing our children feel comfortable reaching out to Fr. Chris for guidance and counsel has reminded us how St. James has shaped and supported our family.

Equally as important to me is how St. James shapes. and supports our larger community. With a high schooler, a middle schooler, and one in elementary, life doesn’t always allow me to serve as frequently as I’d like. However, I’m grateful I’m still able to support these ministries through giving. Supporting the church and the missions that first drew us here means so much to our family. While I’m not always able to serve our community as much as I would like, I’m so grateful St. James continues to make this part of our mission.

That’s why we support St. James through the annual giving campaign: Growing for Tomorrow, Today. It’s our way of investing in the community that has given us so much and helping to carry it forward for the next generation.
