Saint Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, Hanover, Pennsylvania ! PARISH STEWARDSHIP IS A WAY OF LIFE Tithing ! God’s Plan for Giving In the Bible, a “tithe” means ten percent. In thanksgiving to “God the Most High,” Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything (Genesis 14:17 21). Everyone is asked to consider tithing and return 10% of our income to the Lord in gratitude (5% to the parish, 5% to God’s other charities). The spiritual practice of tithing disposes us to make God first in every area of our lives! The aim is not to secure the tithe, but the tither, not the gift, but the giver Nfor God! !

The life of a Christian steward models the life of Jesus. It is challenging and even difficult, in many respects, yet intense joy comes to those who take the risk to live as Christian stewards. Are you living as a Christian steward and modeling the life of Jesus? What have you done this past week? What can you do this coming week? ! !
