The Weekly Update

Stewardship Season

Happening now!

We encourage you to please bring your pledge card this Sunday (if you have not already done so) and join the rest of the congregation in our ministry here in Los Angeles for the year 2026. More cards will be available on the welcome table. Simply drop them in the offering plate during services. Please fill out a physical card even if you give electronically.

"Saint Paul invites us to “walk together in love” as followers of Christ. This invitation to walk in love is the theme for our stewardship campaign this year. Please join us in making your pledge of financial support to St. John’s Cathedral as we launch our second century. Walking together invites us to reflect on our relationship with God, our responsibilities to one another, and our use of the gifts entrusted to us. This reflection allows us to understand how we practice stewarding our own offerings to God through St. John’s Cathedral..."[More]
