James Island Presbyterian Church
We are getting closer to calling an interim pastor!

Greetings! 

The New Year is upon us, and we are almost ready to set our budget for 2015. Through a combination of budget cuts in other areas, special gifts, increased pledges, and new pledges, we are within $10,000 of being able to call a full-time interim senior pastor. Thank you to each of you who have already responded by pledging or increasing your pledge. You are truly making a difference, and we are very close to where we need to be.

The Finance Committee will meet on Tuesday, January 13th to develop a final recommendation to session for our 2015 budget. If you are planning to make a new pledge or increasing your pledge, please let Beth Parler know by Monday, January 12th. If twenty people increase their pledge by a dollar a day, we will reach our goal, all while maintaining our commitment that 10% of our budget goes directly to mission outside our congregation. With God, all things are truly possible.

In Christ,

Rev. Cameron Smith

JIPC Associate Pastor
