Join us for Generosity Sunday, 2021! | St. Columba's Episcopal Church

Please join us on Sunday, November 21st, from 10-11:00, as we pack Thanksgiving food boxes for families at Housing Up!

Something magical happens when we gather around a table to break bread with each other. It is a tradition that is seen in all geographic, generational and cultural divides. Coming together for a meal brings us together, breaking down barriers and building connections.

This Generosity Sunday, you are invited to join us in fostering connection among families by helping us to pack a Thanksgiving food box for 62 families at Housing Up. There are opportunities for everyone- set up, box packing, box delivery and more!

Want to participate, but not available the day of? Please consider helping us by donating so that St. Columba's can buy gift cards for each family to purchase a chicken, turkey or other protein to complete their meal.

What: An event for the whole family! Packing Thanksgiving-food items into boxes, crafts-creating original turkey-cards to send warm wishes, and delivering each box to Ft. View.
When: Sunday, November 21, 2021. 10:00-11:00am
Where: Great Hall, Albemarle Patio
Who: This is an event for individuals and or the whole family
How: To view and register for a volunteer position, please visit our sign-up genius at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/2021GenerositySunday

The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty. ~ Anne Lamott

Joining a church doesn’t mean you don’t have big questions or doubts. Deciding to be part of a loving community of faith means you’re open to exploring and wrestling with those big questions and doubts. Most people here did not grow up in The Episcopal Church. Some have never been a member of any church. Many have a background in a different church or faith tradition. At St. Columba’s, there will be many opportunities to learn, ask questions, and get to know other pilgrims along the way. Our deepest hope is that everyone who steps through our doors knows they belong here.

Let's Stay in Touch!

A pledge is a promise - a promise to give a certain amount over the course of the following year. We don’t expect you to fulfill your pledge in one lump gift. Many find they can give more when pledging and then giving incrementally over the course of the year.

Pledging before the start of each calendar year is critical for clergy and staff to develop an annual budget and plan to serve you and our wider community.

Why Give? God asks us to share our time, talent and treasure. A life of generosity is at the root of Christianity. The Bible encourages the tithe – or 10% of your annual income – and we encourage you to think about what a meaningful gift would be for you.

When you give to St. Columba’s you help fund our ministry in the community, our worship, and the staff that supports our community as we strive to Live God’s Love.

Our mission is funded by you – St. Columbans and other supporters.

St. Columba’s is grateful for your generosity. We accepts gifts in the form of cash, checks, appreciated stocks, Charitable IRA Rollovers, Donor Advised Gifts, and matching gifts. If you would like to include us in your end-of-life charitable gift plans, we accept bequests, life income gifts, and gifts of special assets (real estate, closely held stock, life insurance).
