A Note from the Rector
Making a pledged monetary offering to St. Mary’s Church is essentially a spiritual practice for Christians, just like saying your daily prayers, or being a part of a Bible-study group, or practicing works of mercy for those in need, or coming to church on Sunday morning. So, it’s different than the other good and important charitable giving we do. As a spiritual practice, pledging is a tangible means for us to say thank-you to God – for our lives, for God’s goodness, for the miracle of love, and for all the countless things that prompt your own abiding sense of gratitude. Making a pledged offering is one of the means through we which we may trust God with more and more of who we are, and grow more deeply into the mind and heart of Christ.
David May, Rector
