Giving - Ways to Provide for the Ongoing Work of the Church
Pledging and OFFERINGS
2010 Stewardship Campaign: We Give Because. . . Because We Give. . .
We Give Because. . . When we reflect on the abundance and richness of God's blessings, our natural response is to give joyfully and freely to return a portion of those blessings to God. Our financial gifts are an important part of our response to God's call. As we move into this year's stewardship season think about how much God has given us through his unconditional love and how you will respond to God's amazing love.
Because We Give. . . Our tithes and offerings give us the great privilege of joining God's mission both within our church family and beyond these walls. Our giving allows us to fund ministries as close as church school and as far away as the Watoto ministry in Uganda, and everywhere in between. To think of these two examples of our ministries is also to highlight that our ministries allow us to become better rooted in Christ and to reach out in love.
The annual operating budget of the church is largely supported by the pledges and additional giving of hundreds of individual members and friends of the church. A pledge campaign each fall invites parishioners to make a statement of their intended giving through the pledge process. New members or those who have not yet pledged can always make a pledge at any time. In addition, unpledged offerings are always graciously and appreciatively received at any time and also contribute significantly to the support of the ongoing work and ministry of the church
Donation of Stock
Donating stock is one of the ways that you can give to the ongoing work of Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church. Indeed, donating stock that has appreciated in value can be a way of fulfilling your pledge while realizing a double tax advantage. For information on how to give stock to the church, click here.
Endowment Pamphlet | Making Your Will
Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church encourages its members to consider providing for the long-term ministry of the church through their wills and trusts. To aid in this matter, the Endowment and Support Committee has prepared a pamphlet entitled “Making A Will”.
