The Importance of Giving

As you begin to deepen your relationship with Christ, you may wonder if you should be supporting the church financially. This is natural and is part of God's call. Here at St. Alexander's church, we encourage those who are deeply committed to the parish to give generously of their time, talent and treasure. 

 

On the other hand, for those who are just joining us for the first time, we want you to feel totally welcome here. Let the collection basket pass you by until you feel more comfortable about giving. Giving will emerge naturally in your heart as your relationship with Christ deepens, and as you learn to trust the administration of our parish. This beautiful building would not be possible without financial support of a long history of very generous parishioners. When you feel called to give, we will be open to receiving you. As they say, all in good time!  

​

In the meantime, consider 1 Corinthians 16:2, "On the first day of the week [Sunday] each of you should set aside whatever he can afford," and in 2 Corinthians 9:5-8.
