NOW IS THE TIME TO STEP UP

At Immaculate Conception, we believe that stewardship is a response to the abundant blessings we receive from God. As you consider your what your response will be for next year, please consider taking a Step Up to the next level of giving.

Proverbs 3:9 reminds us to honor the Lord by giving back from the first and best of what we have. Just as the people of Israel offered their First Fruits as a sign of gratitude, we are invited to offer a portion of our income to support the work of our parish. One way we can look at this is presented in the “First Fruits” table—start by giving the first hour of work pay weekly.

In Leviticus 27:30 we are called to offer a tenth of our blessings – the biblical tithe-- to the Lord. In gratitude for God’s provision, we invite you to consider how your financial support can reflect this sacred tradition by referencing the “Biblical Tithe” table. For example, if you are presently giving 2% to the parish, please consider giving 3% in the coming year. Also, please consider setting your eventual goal at the “tithe” level of 10% (e.g., 5% to the parish and 5% to Diocesan and other charities). It may take a few years to get to that level, but it is a worthy and rewarding goal to have as you consider your stewardship journey.

Thank you for your generosity and faithfulness in whichever way you decide to Step Up.
