2021 Pledge Drive
Giving is one of the most powerful spiritual practices in existence. It’s a statement of gratitude and trust in God.
At Incarnation we encourage all our members and friends to prayerfully choose a percentage of their income to give toward causes that serve God’s mission. We ask that part of that intentional giving be a pledge of financial support to the parish, both so that our leadership can plan ahead in making a budget, and as a tangible commitment to what God is doing here at Incarnation.
Almighty God, whose loving hand hath given us all that we possess:
Grant us grace that we may honor thee with our substance,
and, remembering the account which we must one day give,
may be faithful stewards of thy bounty,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(BCP, 827:38)

What’s the purpose of proportional giving?
