WAYS TO GIVE

We are created in the image of a generous God. Every Christian is called to prayerfully and intentionally examine their personal finances, then dedicate a portion of their income to God's work in the world. This offering of thanksgiving strengthens our love for God and our neighbor.

Generosity is a spiritual practice. Giving money away does not come to many of us naturally. We call this kind of generosity "stewardship." A church-y word, stewardship is our way of acknowledging that everything we have comes from God and ultimately belongs to God. We are not owners, but stewards, and believe we will be held accountable for the use of those resources entrusted to our care.

Jesus addresses wealth more than any other topic in the gospels. He urges the rich to be generous with their possessions and relieve the suffering of the poor. Those who embrace his call to generosity experience a lightness and freedom no wealth can purchase.

CASH OR CHECK

Cash gifts can be made by placing your gift in the offering plate or bringing it to the church office. Please remember to put your cash gift in an envelope with your name so we have a record of your gift.

Personal checks can be made out to “St Stephen’s Episcopal Church” and placed in the offering plate, brought to the church office, or placed in the mail.
