2014 Stewardship

As of January 13th, we have 113 pledges for $344,425. Our goal is to increase participation from last year's 113 pledges and reach a total of $362,000 for 2014. If you have any questions about Stewardship, please contact Chip Baird or Bob Courtemanche.

If you haven't already done so, please return your 2014 Pledge Card, as the Vestry needs them to make their budget decisions for the upcoming year. Click here to read the 2014 Stewardship Letter. Extra pledge cards can be found in the narthex or click here to download or email the office to have one sent to you.

You can also donate Stocks to SJOTM. We would be happy to accept stock donations for 2014 as form of pledge payment. The tax advantages of giving stock, instead of cash, to church can make doing so very worthwhile. To learn more, please contact Lisa Keenan in the office at 908-766-2282 ext 13 or by email at L.Keenan@SJOTM.org.
