Giving: "You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving"
Join us as faithful and generous stewards in your giving tithes of 10% as the normal
Biblical standard of Christian giving. Your giving allows for more lives to be
reached with the Good News of what God has done in Jesus and is truly a reflection of
your loving heart. Even if all we have is a little, the Lord desires us to be joyfully
generous, so that He will have for His church an abundance for every good work.
Hear your call to tithe and let your love shine!

Operation Christmas Child
Shoeboxes will be available in the narthex and by the alley door starting Sunday, September 11. Filled shoeboxes need to be returned by November 21. Faster, easier, and cheaper to get your shoebox online. And it still counts as a St Michael’s donation if you use our link here.
| |
|
|
Believe it or not - Christmas is around the corner!
Here is a unique gift idea!
- Instead of shipping Christmas gifts to far off family and friends fill an Operation Christmas Child shoe box in their honor. Create a card about the person you are honoring and place it in the shoe box. Then send a Christmas card to that person telling them about the love and prayers you put in that shoe box in their honor.
Boxes are ready for you in the Narthex and the Loggia (in first floor of the Belser Building) and can be returned anytime through November 21st.
Click here to find the St. Michael's 2022 Operation Christmas Child online link to pack shoebox gifts. You can use this link to build shoeboxes online!

The St. Michael's Church Simple Legacy Planned Giving Initiative | |
Legacy planned giving provides your church with long term stability. Legacy giving is a lot less complicated than you think: Today, more than 55% of individuals do not have a will. Legacy giving is the most inclusive strategy for giving. Many older members hold the majority of their wealth in liquid assets such as land, small businesses or collectibles. St. Michael's Church can convene legacy conversations and provide consultation on these important decisions. | | | | | |
