Lord, what do you want to do through me to fulfill Your will for St. Andrew's?

What can I do?
     * Pray
     * Give an up-front cash gift
     * Make a sacrificial 3-year commitment above your annual giving
     * Include St. Andrew's  in your will
     * Give stocks, land, life insurance, securities, or other appreciated assets
     * Seek and follow God's will

No one is expected to give any specific amount.  Our campaign is based on equal sacrifice, not equal gifts, and equal joy in giving.  All we ask is for you to pray, seek God's will, and then follow His will in making your commitment.

What could be my sacrificial gift?
    1) Giving up the purchase of a CD per month for 3 years is $432
    2) Giving up one movie for two persons each month for 3 years is $540
    3) Giving up one vending machine Coke per day for 3 years is $821
    4) Giving up one dinner for two at a moderate restaurant each month for 3 years is $1,080
    5) Giving up one round of golf each month for 3 years generates $1,200
    6) Giving one hour of pay per week, for example $20/hour, over 3 years generates $3,120
    7) Taking a bagged lunch rather than eating out each day would generate approximately $3,900 over 3 years
    8) Postponing the purchase of a moderately priced car for 3 years would generate approximately $9,000

Our Past...

Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
II Corinthians 9:6-7

    Our future...

I will give thanks by sacrificing a freewill offering to you, O Lord.     Psalm 54:6

Remember, your regular tithe and offering should not be affected by this commitment.  The special offering you will make is for three years and is above and beyond your regular giving.  It is an opportunity to be stretched as we grow spiritually together.  Thank you!
