Alleluia Fund: Giving is a witness to our faith Making offerings for the church is an opportunity for spiritual experiences and learning about our relationship with God and our “things.”

It becomes our most tangible witness to the world of our love for god. The Christian witness is very clear and has been consistent down through the ages. God is good, trustworthy and will care for us. God knows our every need and is faithful.

We receive by giving. Giving is a way to step out in faith and see the hand of god in our lives. The Alleluia Fund is a Diocesan‐wide offering. It’s purpose is to empower our diocese to respond to God’s call to build the church by creating new resources for mission and ministry, and to encourage every member of our Diocese to live more fully into his or her baptismal covenant.

The Alleluia fund will be celebrated June 5.
