St Jude's Pledge Campaign for 2026 is well underway. Thank you to all of you who have responded thus far. To date we have received 117 commitments, already 78% of our goal of 150 pleges. These commitments are for a total of more than $327,000 or 73% of the way to our goal of $450,000. Well done, St. Jude's!
We still have work to do. This request is to those of you who have not yet made a pledge of support towards St. Jude's ministries for the coming year. Please visit the pledge campaign page to learn more about the significant impact of your gift. It takes approximately $2,600 each day to fund our vital ministries. Out of each dollar, approximately 35 cents funds the various ministries through which we care for vulnerable neighbours. Our life of worship and music receives 33 cents; and pastoral care & community life, 14 cents; and faith formation, 17 cents. All of this is supported by almost 37,000 volunteer and staff hours in the year!
In our Sunday worship this past weekend we learned that St. Jude's Pantry Program will have produced 12,000 meals for our food insecure neighbours. This is an amazing accomplishment and a terrific example of how God is able to do "more than we can ask or imagine" when we participate together in God's mission.
Please prayerfully consider and indicate your support and partnership with a pledge of financial support. We are counting on you. Every gift is important and gratefully received. Thank you.
