Reaching our goal will require all who call Meadow Park home to join together in sacrificial giving above our regular tithe. Our first responsibility is always to support the on-going ministry of our church through our tithe (10% of our income).
The RE:NEW Initiative calls us to give generously over and above our tithe. While we each have different capacities to give, we must each seek God for the commitment he is asking us to make. Not equal giving, but equal sacrifice.
1. Rework budget to grow giving
Take an intentional step to trust God more and grow your giving towards a tithe and beyond
Set aside additional funds for the RE:NEW Initiative
2. Give from savings
3. Transfer stocks or other assets
Talk to your financial advisor or let us help you maximize your contribution and tax savings.
4. Do without and give
Skip the daily coffee or coke, eat out less, skip the movie theater, go on a cheaper vacation, cancel a subscription or membership
Delay a major purchase and give the savings
5. Earn extra and give
Pick up a side gig or part-time job, give over-time pay, a bonus, or raise
6. Sell something
An extra car, items in your house, an unused time-share.
7. Give windfall
Commit an unexpected inheritance, a tax refund, capital gains from sale of your house, or other refunds
8. Ask friends and family to give to RE:NEW
9. Legacy Giving
Consider a gift to Meadow Park in your will for future projects and ministry
