Time/Talent Offering. We would like to learn more about our strengths/talents and how we might put them to good use in God's service at or through St. Nicholas Church (we are particularly interested in areas/ministries listed in the comment section below). Please contact us.

Comment or Message (optional):
Does your employer have a matching funds program? Did you know that your pledge to St. Nick's qualifies for matching funds at many companies? Many employers will match charitable donations dollar for dollar others match at an even higher rate. So the value of your annual pledge to St. Nick's can easily be doubled or even tripled. To take advantage of this program, just ask for a matching funds form from your employer, human resources office or matching funds department. Then complete it and return it to St. Nick's.

My employer will match this pledge. I will forward the appropriate matching funds form.

Why look at your pledge as a percent of your income? As Christian stewards of God's gifts to our lives, we believe that what we have belongs to God and must be used to accomplish God's purpose. Several General Conventions of the Episcopal Church, as well as the Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, have affirmed 10% of income as the biblical standard giving. While we do not want to be legalistic about such percentages, it can be a helpful discipline to budget our expenditures so that we can intentionally reserve a percentage for God's work. It may also be helpful in re-estimating your giving if your circumstances change or if your wish to allocate your giving between the church and other charities. If you have questions about percentage giving, feel free to speak to the rector or a member of the vestry with whom you feel comfortable.
