Stewardship
Stewardship is our personal response to God’s generosity in the way we share our resources of time, talent, and money. It reflects our commitment to making God’s love known through our use of all that God has given us.
Each fall, St. Andrew’s asks members to make an annual financial pledge. Our budgets are prepared in light of the pledges received from the members. A pledge is a statement of intent, not a legal obligation. It can be changed at any time, if needed.
Pledge cards are sent to members in the mail and collected on “Gratitude Sunday” (usually mid-November). They are also available here:
St. Andrew’s is grateful for all pledges and gifts of time and talent! Together these make possible our weekly worship, education, fellowship, pastoral care, outreach to the community, and staff salaries.
Help for Victims of Southern California Fires
We are all shaken by the devastating destruction the fires have wrought in Los Angeles County. Many of you have asked how you can help. St. Andrew’s will collect donations in a “Fire Relief” fund. Please make checks out to St. Andrew’s with “fire relief” in the memo line. You can also donate via Zelle with the same notation of “fire relief”. We’ll donate the funds received to the diocesan One Body One Appeal fund or Episcopal Relief and Development. If you’d like to donate directly to the One Body One Appeal fund, click here.
The diocese also has some great resources that may be helpful to any friends or relatives affected by the fires. Click here to view.
Annual Fundraising Gala
In 2008, St. Andrew’s initiated a program to revive and restore our sanctuary. Each year since, a gala “Revive and Restore” or “Spice It Up” event is held in the fall featuring silent and live auctions. Funds raised have been used to upgrade areas of the church. With input from members, the Bishop’s Committee has identified one or more projects each year. We have dedicated 20% of the funds raised to charitable giving.
