Dear Friends,

Thank you to the 75 individuals, couples or families who have pledged a financial commitment to ministries and works of St. Patrick's for 2016, in the total amount of $304,442.80.  This is a terrific start to our 2016 goal of pledged income of $454,268.34, which is a 14% increase over last year's budgeted pledged income amount.

$304,442 is 67% of our 2016 goal, leaving us just one-third short of obtaining our goal.  If you made a pledge of financial commitment in 2015, and have not returned your 2016 pledge card to the office, please prayerfully consider increasing your pledge.  If you have not pledged before, 2016 would be a great year to begin!

We need to finalize our projected income numbers for 2016 by mid-December, so the Vestry and Finance Committee can begin their work in finalizing the 2016 church budget.  Please make a financial pledge to our church, St. Patrick's, and turn it in to the office as soon as possible.  If you have any questions at all around pledging or this process, please feel free to contact me, (404) 388-4278, or one of our Clergy.

Thank you,

Keith Harper

2016 Stewardship Chair
