Technology Our technology team is always recruiting new members. If you have an interest in computers, audio-visual equipment, networking, communications, etc., we invite you to be a part of our behind-the-scenes ministry bringing the sights and sounds of St. Jude's to life on Sunday mornings and beyond. Livestreaming: A Basic Introduction To decide whether this ministry is right for you, check out our short series of introductory videos. We also invite you to shadow us at the 10:30 a.m. service any Sunday. Stop by the technology table around 9:30 a.m. and let us know you are interested. We'll be happy to show you the basics, answer your questions, and even let you take a turn on the equipment if you feel comfortable. Don't get intimidated. There's a learning curve, but we all started somewhere. Once you get the hang of things, it can even be a lot of fun. This would be a great ministry for teens and young adults who are digital natives. We'll be glad to sign off on community service forms for your volunteer hours.

GOVERNING LAW These Terms of Use and your use of the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles. 16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION Informal Negotiations To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party. Binding Arbitration If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website: www.adr.org . Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Florida, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded from these Terms of Use. In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. Restrictions The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. 17.

Dear St. Jude's Family, What a Year!!! Nothing is the same. When are we going to get back to the way things were? Folks, I don’t think we are ever going to get back to the way things were. So to carry this into stewardship here is a new approach. ​ We all know that stewardship is a three legged stool. One leg is time and another is talent and the third is treasure. We at St. Jude’s do time and talent quite well. So we don’t need to spend lots of time on those two. So let’s talk about treasure. Money! ​ Giving back a portion of what God has given us is the Christian thing to do. It is called a tithe of 10%. As we profess to being Christians then giving a portion back to the God should not be a big deal. So why is it a big deal? It is a big deal because you think you are in charge. You are not. God is. It took me years to realize that God has my back and yours too. ​ St. Jude’s has a budget of around $340,000. We have 116 families on our mailing list and an average Sunday attendance is around 100. This includes both in service and on-line since the virus has been with us. Currently our average pledge is just over $3,700. We currently have 72 pledging units. Do the math, if everyone steps up to the plate we could meet our budget for around $9.00 a day. Can we increase the number of pledges? I believe we can. We all start at different points on the highway of stewardship. Some will give more, some less but in the long term we should all be striving to reach that 10% goal. ​ We do time and talent extremely well at St. Jude’s. We are a work in process on that treasure leg of the stool, but I believe the members of of St. Jude's can do it. ​ Enclosed you will see a brochure and pledge card. Please read and fill out the pledge card and either bring it by the office, mail it, or drop it in the collection plate on Sunday October 11. If you would like to submit your pledge card via e-mail, please go to our site: www.stjudes.us/stewardship and complete the cards. Let’s make this the best year yet for St. Jude's. Yours in Christ, Eric W. Kosche Stewardship Chair What does my pledge support? A safe, sacred space where believers gather, form lasting relationships, pray for one another, and experience God's love as we celebrate God and one another. A staff who makes possible compelling worship, parish communications, music, pastoral care, youth programs, and education. Uplifting worship services offering biblical reflection and joy. The preservation and beautification of our worship space, property and grounds. Personal growth through Christian Education for all ages, Confirmation, Baptism & Marriage preparation. ​ We also support other activities. These include: Thanksgiving & Christmas food baskets ERD Opportunity Place Sharing & Caring Tools for Schools UTO Beckwith Camp & Retreat Center, and major facility repairs. Note: Your contribution to any of the above is greatly appreciated, but please remember, your contribution is in addition to your pledge. How much should I share? ​ The minimum standard of giving the Bible sets for Christians is the tithe {i.e., 10% of your time, abilities and material possessions). St. Jude's stewardship programs promote regular giving that strives for that minimum in a manner that is proportionate to your means. The responsibility of our church support belongs in the hands of each parishioner. Questions to guide your sharing ​ What do I want my giving to say about God? What am I doing through my giving to advance God's interests? What legacy does the level and type of my giving in time and resources leave behind? Am I growing in my giving? You have the freedom to give whatever you feel you can return in thanksgiving to God. We ask that you give a fair share of your resources to continue the work of Christ in the world and ensure that our faith is passed on to the next generation. Consider the range of pledges given for the current year (2020) and let God, through the Holy Spirit, guide you in your decision for the next year. ​ ​ ​ ​ How much treasure does St. Jude's require?
