FROM SHERBOURNE U.M.C.
“Dear students and parishioners of St. Mary’s: Thank you again so much for your love and caring shown to Sherbourne U.M.C. this Christmas season. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide Christmas for the children in this community who otherwise would not have had any Christmas at all! Again, thank you so much for organizing this outreach, and for the safe delivery of all of the toys and games!"
We are blessed to work in partnership with Sherbourne! Many thanks to each of you who helped with this year’s “Children Helping Children” outreach!!

2020 St. Mary's Contribution Statements |
|
|
|
Given tax law changes resulting in fewer households itemizing their taxes and in an effort to conserve resources, St .Mary's will not bulk mail 2020 contribution statements. If you need a contribution statement for your tax filing, there are 4 ways to get a 2020 statement:
- If you contribute via E-Giving you can print a statement from your online E-Giving account. E-Giving account login can be accessed from the St. Mary's website here.
- Register for a My Own Church account (MOC). Having a MOC account allows you to edit personal and contact information directly in the parish database. It also allows you to see all your contributions and print a year-end statement. You can access My Own Church here.
- For an email copy or paper copy of your 2020 statement, you can send a request to [email protected].
- Finally, you can call the parish office at 804-740-4044 and ask for Karen Martin at ext. 115 to get assistance.
