Help us keep the lights shining: POWERING OUR PARISH
Dear Parishioners,
Our church is more than just a building; it is a home where we gather to worship, find comfort and fellowship, and serve our community. To keep our home warm, bright, and welcoming for everyone, we must pay our utility bills, which average approximately $40 per day, and these costs increase every year.
St. James is more than just a building, it is our home where we gather to worship, find comfort and fellowship and serve our community To keep our home warm, bright and welcoming for everyone, we must pay our utility bills, which average approximately $40 per day.
Starting this year, we are launching our Powering Our Parish initiative. We invite you to sponsor a single day of utility costs to help sustain our mission. You are also welcome to sponsor more than one day.
Whether it is a date that holds special meaning—such as a birthday, a name day, an anniversary, or a tribute in memory of a loved one—your gift of $40 ensures that our doors stay open and our sanctuary remains a light in the community.
