My/Our 2022 Donation Plan to Steinmann Mennonite Church

“As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”

1 Peter 4:10

In planning a personal giving goal consider the following:

§ Giving is a joyful response to God’s generosity to us.

§ Offering a portion of our resources to God is an act of worship and a commitment to be engaged in God’s mission in the world.

§ For many Christians, the Biblical tithe of 10% is a common benchmark for generosity. For some of us, this target may be too low. For those of us on a limited or fixed income, this may be too high. Ask God to help you discern what is right for you.

§ Regular financial or first-fruits giving is an important spiritual discipline.

With God’s help, I/we are making the following generosity plan for our 2022 church financial year.
If circumstances allow, I/we will increase my/our generosity.

Question Title

* 2. In comparison to my giving to SMC in 2021, I/we are making the following generosity plan:

20% or higher than last year. I/we have the financial capacity to go beyond the budget increase and will help make up the difference for those whose financial resources are more limited.

15% higher than last year. I/we hope to challenge ourselves to match the budget increase this year in terms of giving.

10% higher than last year. I/we will aim to boost our giving this year and will consider a bit more if possible.

2-5% higher than last year. I/we are strong supporters of our congregation's mission and will strive to increase our giving by this amount.

The same level as last year. I/we love our congregation and what it does, but my/our circumstances require that my/our giving stay the same as last year.

Other. Please indicate % or $ amount. My circumstances are such that it is better for me to support our congregation's mission with this commitment.
