Give One is an effort to invite everyone into the honor of investing in this place we call home. It is a step toward becoming more generous by providing an opportunity for those who are new to biblical generosity to begin to take part in this spiritual practice, and for those who are accustomed to biblical generosity to trust God in new ways as we give above and beyond what we’ve grown accustomed to.
Just as we are all facing increased costs personally, the church is as well. As we enter into a new budget year, and the lean summer months, we are also facing the challenge of a significant mortgage rate increase (from 4.25% to 7.5%, a monthly increase of $6153.00). Give One will aid in offsetting these increases, help us avoid further ministry cuts, but also prepare us for future growth through greater generosity and trust in God’s faithfulness.
We can bear the weight together. Talk with God about how you will be involved. Will your One be 1% more than you already give (from 0% to 1% or 10% to 11%)? Will you reallocate money to the church by giving up One streaming service, One specialty drink, One trip, One car, One house (hey, we can dream)? Will you give $1 for each person in your family, each time you come? While it won’t be equal giving, it can be equal sacrifice.
Everyone can GIVE ONE.
_______________________________
We will collect online and in-person pledges until Sunday, June 9th. Then the giving begins! Give One will last for 90 days (June 9 through September 7). We are asking for a pledge which is the total dollar amount that you will commit to donate by September 7th.
Continued generosity is a necessity beyond that time-frame. We pray that over 90 days, you will discover more faith, more joy, and more of a share in what God is doing in and through JaxNaz. We pray that what comes back to you will far outweigh anything you gave up along the way. As a result, we pray that the generosity just keeps flowing. On September 8th, we will have a Give One celebration at 6:30p.
Your Give One donations will go toward our general budget. There is no special designation required, just select JaxNaz Church (Tithe). After you submit your pledge commitment, this might be the perfect time to set up recurring giving using ACH for the lowest processing fees and clicking the box to cover the $0.30 processing fee.
