- 1. We believe God is the source
of all that we have, that God loves us and will provide abundantly for
all our needs. As God has so freely given to us, we are invited to give
freely to the work of the kingdom within and beyond the Diocese of
Washington.
|
|

|
- 2. As a measure of our trust in
God and of our desire to deepen our relationship with God, we personally
and collectively affirm the tithe as the minimum biblical standard of
our giving to the church. Therefore, we pledge to tithe to our
congregations and to challenge all congregations to tithe in support of
the mission of the Diocese.

- 3. We joyfully ask you to join us
in this affirmation and commitment.

- Increase NOI% by One Percentage Point

- Example:
- NOI x %
= Giving
- 2003: 335,031 x 6.1% = $20,436
- 2004: 338,000 x 7.1% = $23,998
