We are excited to kick off this year’s St. Paul’s stewardship campaign by inviting you to Come to the Table.
At St. Paul’s, we come to the table in all sorts of ways. We come to give support and receive it. We come to be nourished, and we come ready to nourish others. And, of course, sometimes we simply come to the table together, sharing a meal, a cup of coffee, a conversation or the Eucharist.
The spirit of coming together is at the heart of so much of what happens at St. Paul’s.
- Sunday worship with fellowship, music, and time to reflect.
- Christian formation for all stages of life.
- Pastoral care during times of joy and sorrow.
- Parish gatherings including coffee hours, dinners, and concerts.
- Outreach and support for those in need beyond St. Paul’s
What can you bring to the table this year?
How do you choose to participate in our St. Paul’s community and to share God’s love in the world?
Whatever your choice is, we invite you to consider a financial pledge for 2027.

Stewardship Frequently Asked Questions
Why are pledges important?
Episcopal churches are self-funded. St. Paul’s relies on Stewardship pledges to fund nearly 80% of the operations of our church life.
What is the Pledge Goal for 2027?
The #1 goal is 100% Participation. Providing the same level of ministry in 2027 is likely to require a 5-10% year over year increase in total pledges. New pledges and increases in existing pledges allow St. Paul’s to move forward on firm financial footing.
Why is it better to pledge vs. put money in the offering plate each week?
A formal pledge allows the Vestry and Finance Committee to prepare a sound, realistic budget.
Where does my pledge go?
Your pledge supports the full life of St. Paul’s: worship and music, faith formation, pastoral care, fellowship, outreach and social justice, as well as the staff and facilities that make those ministries possible. Link to St. Paul’s Narrative Budget
May I change my pledge?
Yes, you may adjust your financial commitment at any time by contacting stewardship@stpaulsnatick.org
