Our God is a God of abundance. As we pause and notice this loving abundance, our hearts so very often break open and we desire to share this abundance for the healing and joy of the world, for the nurturance of the KINdom of God.
It is from this place of our hearts opening in love, that we give of our time, talent, and treasure. That is what a tithe is. It is an offering of thanksgiving that incorporates the whole of who we are as Beloved by God.
Scripture teaches us that to give a portion of all we have is a holy and sacred gift. There is profound freedom in this practice, as well as profound joy. And while we may not yet be at the traditional tithe of ten percent, do each of us have an awareness of how we desire to give specifically for the support and encouragement of St. Augustine’s ministries?

Offerings of Time & Talent
Take a few minutes of prayer to reflect on the time and spiritual gifts, the talents, with which God has filled you….What do you notice? Out of this noticing, what do you feel called to offer to the life and ministry of St. Augustine’s Church? It may be a ministry you are already involved in, or it may be something new!
