Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist - York, PA

   The Pledge - Annual Giving:

Step into your faith Pledge:

We are asking you to consider using the “Step Into Your Faith” steps to plan your giving.   Take a look at your current yearly giving and mark that on the steps.   Then ask yourself, will I be willing to move up one step next year?

That one step will go a long ways towards helping our parish increase our ministries.   It will help provide us with the extra resources to do more inside our parish  family.    It will give us the opportunity to reach out into our neighborhood and share the joy of Christ and of our church.

We hope that you will consider making a pledge.   By pledging you give us a clearer picture of what our funding for the year will look like.   This helps the vestry plan our operation.   A pledge gives the parish a more predictable view.   Simply, it helps us budget.  

“Step into your faith” works though even if you don’t want to pledge.   You can still make your personal pledge to increase your giving.    Either way, you will be  helping the parish.

Remember, our pledging calendar is based on the  churches fiscal year which is July 1, 2011 to June 20, 2012.    So, these pledge commitments begin in July.
