Can I practice stewardship without pledging by just putting money in the plate?
A. Of course any money received, whether by pledge or plate offering, benefits St. Gabriels. By making a pledge, you are you making a stewardship commitment and helping the church to practice good stewardship. Pledges give us purposeful decision making when creating the annual budget and the financial resources we will have to carry out our mission. Filling out a pledge form also helps to determine appropriate representation at our Diocesan Convention each year.
