The Episcopal Church teaches the tithe as the minimum standard of giving for it's members. If you are not already tithing, I invite you to start, or, at least to begin a plan of giving that will bring you to the tithe within three years. You'll be blessed for it. And so will the church. And pray for the church.
Prayer is a powerful thing.
There is nothing more important than our daily prayers for one another and our life and ministry and mission together as a faith community. If we will be a church in prayer, then miracles will happen. And that ladies and gentlemen is my opening statement to you. I have made some promises to you. I'll be faithful to them.
