Gracious God, giver of all we have and hold as stewards; send your Holy Spirit to help us as we swim against the rising tides of materialism, envy, individualism, and greed in our culture. When we are tempted to think of money as a private matter, remind us that you have asked for part of what we are given, to be returned to you as a symbol of our awareness that you give all we have. And further, help us to help each other in this grace of giving, for you are the lover of our souls and call us to nothing less than transformation in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |
Your Financial Support for the Parish of Formosa is appreciated!
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” – Malachi 3:10
Tithing (giving 10% of your income) on a regular basis not only supports the work we do at at the Parish of Formosa. It doesn’t just support the Parish and the Chapelries. It also shows an obedience to God by making his work a financial priority in your life.
