Thank You for Being Good Stewards Following Time and Talent and Loyalty Sundays in March, the St. Paul congregation responded positively with 129 Time and Talent forms and 69 financial pledge cards from individuals and families. This is a 64% response rate on Time and Talent forms and an 8% increase in the number of pledge cards. The total dollar amount in financial pledges increased by 11% compared to last year. The Stewardship Board would like to thank everyone for your continued support to God’s work and church family here at St. Paul. Thank you!
