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!

The St. Michael's Church Simple Legacy Planned Giving Initiative | |
The St. Michael’s Church Simple Legacy Planned Giving Initiative 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. For more information, call the church office at 843-723-0603. | | | | | |
