Annual Stewardship 2027
God’s generosity is already visible in the life we share at St. Richard’s: in worship, in learning, in care for one another, and in service to our neighbors. Our annual pledge is one way we respond with gratitude and help sustain the ministries God has entrusted to us.
Please prayerfully consider your pledge for 2027. Your commitment helps the Vestry prepare a responsible budget and plan the year ahead.

DOWNLOAD THE 2027 PLEDGE CARD
Please submit your pledge by Ingathering Sunday, November 15, 2026.
Pledging and paying are separate steps. Use the pledge form to record your commitment for 2027. If you give electronically, set up or review the payment schedule separately in Realm.
EDITOR NOTE Add the verified 2027 pledge form link and final pledge card PDF. Confirm with the church office whether parishioners may pledge online or by paper card; the recommended FAQ copy assumes either method is acceptable.

Your Giving Supports the Life We Share
Worship and Formation
Your gifts sustain Sunday worship, music, acolytes, Eucharistic ministers, and the people and resources that support Christian formation for children, youth, and adults.
Care and Community
Your generosity helps St. Richard’s offer pastoral care and build community through ministries such as Community of Care, Prayer Shawl, Parish Life, and our fellowship groups.
Service to Our Neighbors
Annual giving supports a parish that serves beyond its walls through the Round Rock Area Serving Center, Kairos, Quilts of Valor, the Pumpkin Patch, and other outreach ministries.
Our 2027 Ministry and Financial Plan
The 2027 ministry and financial overview will explain the proposed budget, the annual pledge goal, and how giving supports clergy and staff, our campus, worship, formation, parish life, and outreach.

Questions About Pledging and Giving
What is a pledge
A pledge records the amount you intend to give during 2027. It makes giving an intentional part of your life of faith and helps the Vestry prepare a responsible budget.
Why should I pledge if I already give regularly
Thank you for your faithful support. Recording your intention lets St. Richard’s estimate annual income and plan ministries responsibly, even when your giving amount is unchanged.
Does a pledge start automatic payments
No. Recording a pledge and arranging payments are separate steps. After you pledge, use Realm to start or review your recurring gift if you plan to give electronically.
I already have a recurring gift in Realm. Do I need to do anything
Please review its amount, frequency, fund, and end date. Your current payment schedule may need to be updated to match your 2027 pledge.
How do I decide what to give
Begin with prayer, gratitude, and an honest look at your circumstances. Consider giving a proportion of your income and, if appropriate, taking a step toward the biblical tithe of ten percent. Every pledge matters.
Can I pledge online or use a paper card
Yes. Submit the 2027 pledge form online or return a paper pledge card by mail or in the Sunday offering. You do not need to do both.
What if my circumstances change
Please contact the church office. A pledge is an intention, and it can be adjusted if your income, health, or family circumstances change.
How can I give by check or cash
Place gifts in the Sunday offering. Write ‘pledge’ in the memo line of a check and use an identified envelope for cash so the gift can be credited correctly. Checks may also be mailed to Saint Richard’s Episcopal Church, PO Box 570, Round Rock, TX 78680-0570.
Can I participate without making a financial pledge
Yes. Your presence, prayers, time, and abilities are important parts of our shared life. Use the ministry booklet and time and talent materials to find ways to participate.
EDITOR NOTE Have the church office approve these procedural answers before publication, especially the online-versus-paper pledge instructions and the wording for checks and cash.
Make Your 2027 Pledge
Thank you for the many ways you support St. Richard’s. Please prayerfully consider your commitment for 2027 and submit your pledge by November 15.
