Tithing/Pledging/Giving/Amazon Smile

A pledge is a commitment to give one’s time, talents, and money as an expression of faith and a personal response to God’s generosity. Parish members are encouraged to make an annual stewardship pledge which represents their specific Christian commitment to “work, pray, and give for the spread of the kingdom of God”. Parish budgets are prepared in light of the pledges received from he members. Please remember, a pledge is a statement of intent, not a legal obligation that can be changed as circumstances dictate.to  mission of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church.

You can support the church by establishing a pledge, making a gift to the church, or by using the Amazon Smile program. All three options are described below.

Pledging is setting up a periodic contribution to support the mission of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church. Most pledges are for a weekly amount. A pledge is not a binding commitment, it can be changed at any time as circumstance dictate.
