As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life. 1 Timothy 6:17-19

GIVING WITH GENEROUS GRATITUDE: We are called to offer up our 'first fruits' not our 'left-overs' to God. Supporting the church with our financial offerings is an act of faith, a show of gratitude, and a sacrificial commitment to God's mission.

Here are some ways you can give regularly while we continue to shelter and social distance during the Covid-19 pandemic:

• Mail a regular check to St. Andrew UMC with ‘Offering/Date’ in the memo field. 1528 Church Rd. Toms River NJ You can even call the office and request Giving Envelopes or a Giving Number. Then, just use those envelopes (or include the giving number on your check) weekly.
• The Church is able to accept Electronic Giving via a secure service feature on our website. At the top of the Church website is a banner with options.  By clicking on the “GIVE” option, you are directed to a secure page where you can give by credit card or direct transfer from a bank.  You can also set up your account to make recurring payments.
• The Church is able to accept Text Giving via a secure platform. Simply text 732-355-8084 with the dollar amount you wish to give. Your first text will require you fill out a short form with billing information

Let's continue to give generously and gratefully as we express our courageous faith in Jesus and the future of St. Andrew UMC!
