Vestry
Statement on Planned Giving
In deep gratitude for the gifts that God has given us, we, the vestry of St. James’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, wholeheartedly approve and support the planned giving ministry of our parish. The health of our church is built on the generosity of many, some of whom are no longer with us. We give thanks for their gracious gifts while we recognize the responsibility each succeeding generation has to future generations and the continued strength of our parish.
We believe in the importance of returning to God part of what God has given us. Therefore, when we consider or review our individual estate plans we commit ourselves to make some provision for the St. James’s Endowment Fund, Inc. should our individual circumstances permit. We encourage every member of the parish to do the same.
