| Stewardship | |
| Bob Hanna, chair (523-4332) | |
Financial and volunteer support for the parish ensures its well being
and enables the parish to pursue its mission. No specific dollar amounts
are required for a parishioner to be a member within the parish. All
members, however, are expected to answer the call of the parish by
supporting the parish financially through pledging, engaging in regular
worship, and participating in parish programs and ministries. The parish
subscribes to the biblical standard of a tithe (10% percent) from
income, and the parish uses that standard as the ideal toward which
parishioners should strive. Annually all parishioners are asked to
re-affirm their stewardship contribution by pledging their time, talent
and treasure.
