Stewardship
Stewardship - The Parish Council of the Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church is pleased to announce a few new ways to donate to your church. We have launched a new stewardship service that allows you to give one-time or recurring gifts from your computer, tablet or smartphone.
Our Church responds to the spiritual needs of the Greek Orthodox Christian Faithful through our ministries, providing programs and services to our community. We invite you to prayerfully consider sharing the resources given to you by God by donating your time or talents. Your support helps us further the vital ministry work of the Church.
Here are the ways you can support your Church:
Volunteer: Please consider volunteering for one of the ministries of the Church--nothing is more valuable than your time. Email Father Catalin (frcatalin7@gmail.com) and let him know where you can help.
Mail: You can mail a donation to: Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, 2990 South Cashua Drive, Florence, South Carolina 29501
Online (NEW!): You can make a one-time or recurring donation safely online at: https://www.gotflorence.com/donate
Smartphone App: There is also an app you can have on your smartphone that you can use to make donations to the church. You can also download the Tithe.ly App at: https://get.tithe.ly/download-tithely-app
Thank you for your support of your Church!
Stewardship - A Time for Every Purpose Under Heaven
A Time for Every Purpose Under Heaven: Ecclesiastes 3
Are you a contributing member of the body of Christ? Are you actively serving God and sharing Him with others? Are you contributing to peace and unity within His body? Do you worship regularly? Take a moment to evaluate your life in light of these principles.
We are called to apply our gifts, training, abilities, education and skills to the tasks that God places before us. If we do this humbly and prayerfully, the body of Christ will function to its full potential.
The Biblical motivation for giving is grace; giving is an act of worship in response to the generosity of God. You are to give, Paul says, “as God has prospered you.” II Corinthians 8 and 9 teach clearly, “He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” God blesses those who give with generosity.”
Giving is a way to thank God for His grace and generosity. The question is not, “How much do I give to stay in the club?” or “What are the dues?” but “How can I thank God for my many blessings?”
