Thank you for your sacrifice of tithing!

How shall I make a return to the lord of all the good he has done for me? (Ps. 116:12) Tithing is God's plan to support His Church. Full tithing means 10% of gross income to God. We ask half of this, or 5% for your Parish Church.

Number of homes registered to our parish: 685 (If you are not a member of our parish and would like to be one, pick up a YELLOW registration blank at the main entrance, fill in both sides, and return it.)

"Give to the Lord, you families of nations, give to the Lord glory and might; give to the Lord the glory due his name!" -Psalms 96:7-8

How much time throughout the course of the day do you stop to say thank you to God for all of your blessings? Find time in your day to thank God, honor Him and praise Him and show Him the reverence for the many blessings every day.
