YEAR END GIVING

SHARING THE PEACE

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as
the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be
afraid.

Merry Christmas!
This month, we celebrate the peace we have in Jesus Christ. Through His work, God has made peace with us. We are forgiven, and we have the hope of resurrection. His peace gives meaning and purpose to our lives, even in times of difficulty.

God has called and empowered St. James to share His peace with our communities through our ministries and school. Every Sunday, we pass the peace with one another, and God invites you to share in that peace through your year-end gift to His work at St. James.

Please join me in prayerfully considering a year-end gift to benefit your neighbor. May God continue to grow our community and fill more hearts with His peace through St. James.

FAQs

    We have set a goal of $100,000. In fact, the value of tuition aid offered is much higher than that. When you generously support this effort, you directly impact the lives of others.

  • How much should I give?

    You should determine your gift on the basis of prayer and reflection upon the blessings God has provided to you to use to His glory. Every gift is a personal decision and should be determined with a joyful heart that you are supporting the various ministries at St. James.
