Advent Pledge Season

12Dec

We're on the threshold of "high season." The island is much fuller with folks than even two weeks ago. As we continue holding the beautiful and countercultural space and breathing room of Advent, we also turn our thoughts toward year-end giving and planned giving for the new year ahead.

Pledge forms for 2025 are available on our giving page at https://tinyurl.com/2025-STPKW-Pledge-Form, and old-fashioned hard-copy cards are available in the back of the nave (on the tables where you pick up your service bulletins). As of this writing, we have four pledges recorded for a total of just over $29,000.00. Our goal for 2025 pledges is $400,000.00. 

Thank you for prayerfully considering your pledge for 2025. Our pledges are made in faith and can be increased or decreased throughout the year as circumstances may dictate. If you aren't already a 10% tither, will you pray about increasing your pledge by at least 1% for 2025 over 2024? 

Our pledges are commitments to support the ongoing operations of the parish financially. Knowing what folks are planning on giving helps us plan for the year. Setting your pledge up as a recurring online gift ensures that your contributions to support the ministries of St Paul's happen year round even if you yourself are not in Key West year round.

In 2023, we had 30 pledges. In 2024, we had 52 pledges. Thank you for keeping this exciting trend moving in this very encouraging direction! Blessed be God forever!
