There are many ways to support the church with your gifts. Of course, your financial gifts are essential to maintaining the church and its ministries, and there are many ways to enhance your giving. Here are a few things you can consider.
- Make a personal pledge to give to the church even on Sundays you are not here.
- Use your bank’s online BillPay to set up automatic payments to the church every week or month. This can greatly simplify your giving.
- Remember the church in your will. You can leave a share of your estate to the church.
- Analyze your own giving habits and ask yourself if you can afford to take a step forward toward tithing (giving 10% of your income to the church). Even if you take a tiny step up, you can feel good about moving forward.
There are also spiritual gifts we all possess in one degree or another, and these are essential to the church as well.
- Visit the blog at Equipped for Every Good Work and go to the downloads section. Download and print the Spiritual Gifts Handouts and Spiritual Gifts Inventory Statements under “Chapter Two.” (Instructions and scoring are in the first document, the actual inventory is in the second). Then come and talk to Pastor Willie about your results!
- Pray and ask God for discernment and guidance regarding how you can use your gifts and talents to help the church thrive.
