St. John the Divine thrives because of the time, talent, and treasure our people give. This year’s campaign began October 18, and our Ingathering Sunday is November 8, 2026, when we will bless the pledge cards we’ve received and pray for the year ahead.
Whether you worship with us in the pews or online, we invite you to pledge. If you miss November 8, please join in whenever you are willing and able. If now is not the right time, we understand.

A stewardship note from our Deacon & Senior Warden:
Dear friends of St. John the Divine,
As you know, I have only been at St. John’s for a short while – just over four months now. But it didn’t take long for me to learn and experience just how generous you all are. From being quick to help at a funeral, to giving of your time each week to make liturgy happen, to making sure we have delightful treats at coffee hour, desiring to take up meaningful outreach in the community, and generously and warmly welcoming me and my family here. I couldn’t possibly list all the ways your generosity has manifested in such a short period of time. I am truly grateful to be a small part of such a loving community.
As we look to 2027, I have no doubt that as each of us consider the ways we might participate in what God is doing in Burlington, that same spirit of generosity will continue to overflow. Our 2027 Annual Giving Campaign invites us to consider how we can support the mission and ministry of St. John the Divine through financial pledges. These gifts sustain our worship services, outreach programs, pastoral care, building and grounds, and the many ways we serve both the congregation and the wider community. We ask you to prayerfully consider making a pledge for the coming year.
We will be kicking off our 2027 Stewardship Campaign on Sunday, October 18, and it will go through Sunday, November 8. Over the course of the next few Sundays (October 18, October 25, and November 1), we will have a few parishioners share about what St. John’s means to them, and why they choose to make St. John’s their home. Then Sunday, November 8, will be our ingathering Sunday where we hope to collect as many pledge cards as we can, and pray for God’s blessing on them, as well as our gifts of time and talent, for the year ahead.
As you consider your gift, we invite you to use our prayer for stewardship this year:
Everliving God, whose will it is that all should come to you through your Son Jesus Christ: Inspire our witness to him, that all may know the power of his forgiveness and the hope
of his resurrection. We acknowledge that your loving hand has given us all we possess. Grant us grace and love that we may honor you with our resources and our very lives, seeking to be faithful stewards of your good and gracious gifts, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Adapted from the Book of Common Prayer, Prayers for the Mission of the Church and the Right use of God’s Gifts)
Should you have any questions about Stewardship and our budgeting process, please feel free to reach out to me at any time!
Grace and peace,
The Rev. Nate Irvine, Deacon In Charge
Bob Yoerin, Sr. Warden
You Can Pledge Here!
A pledge shows your intention for the coming year, but it is not a binding contract. Thank you for your commitment. We will receive your pledge with prayer on November 8.
Please note: If you set up your gift through your bank’s bill pay or through our online giving site, you still need to complete this form. Setting up a payment does not record your pledge, and the form lets us know what you intend to give for 2027.
