• Remind each of us of the phenomenal ministry that takes place every day at St. John's, our chapels and on-campus affiliates.
  
• Engage each of us in this work through our commitment of the time, talent, and treasure entrusted to us by God for the recreation of the world.
  
• Invigorate our own personal faith journey so the community at large may see God's renewing spirit in the way we live our own lives.

St. John's has a variety of sources of revenue, but the Annual Giving Drive remains, by far, the most important to us, not only for the pledges made that allow us to make our choices prudently, but also for the reasons I articulated above.

The ministry of Jesus Christ at St. John's is a ministry not of an organization, but a ministry of people coming together to make a bigger impact than we could do separately.  There is no organization like St. John's in Teton County . . . none.

Not everyone knows that, even with our several other streams of income, it still requires approximately $2,000 per year from each of our 350 or so households to support the mission and activities of St. John's. . . that is about $175 per month. What I am asking you is to attempt, as you are able, to use this "fair share" as a goal for your personal giving to St. John's.  Not everyone can make this commitment given their personal financial situation.
