Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with
every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything,
you may share abundantly in every good work. --2nd Corinthians 9:7b-8

Do you tithe? Do you want to take steps towards giving a tithe?
If you would like some assistance in calculating proportional giving, there is an on-line calculator that can assist you in knowing what your giving would look like if you gave on a per week, per month or per year basis. The on-line calculator will also let you compute what you should give as a percentage basis. The calculator is informative and easy to use. The In His Steps Committee recommends that you try this link so you know where you are and what you might want to grow your giving to: Click here for the link.

Annual Stewardship Campaign to Set RUMC Operating Budget
Annual In His Steps Stewardship Campaign -- Every fall the Finance Committee, with input from the ministry areas, establishes a proposed budget. A critical step in developing the budget is finding out what you are estimating your gift to RUMC will be for the upcoming year. We will provide you with an "Estimate of Giving Card" so you can communicate your giving plans. By submitting an estimate of giving card you enable the church leadership to plan and set priorities for the coming year. The RUMC operating budget supports missions and outreach, education and discipleship, worship and music, buildings and grounds, and other operating expenses and salaries. For more information on the estimate of giving cards or the budgeting process, contact Lynn Adcock, 770.261.1707 or ladcock@rumc.com.
