STEWARDSHIP AND GIVING AT SAINT BONIFACE
 
A Christian shows what he is by what he does with what he has.
 
Stewardship is a journey requiring open eyes to see God's goodness and grace around us, open hands to accept it, and open spirits to celebrate and share it.  Wonder and joy are its waymarkers.
 
Come Together!  
 
Altar Cross #2 St BonifaceOur Annual Appeal for 2012 invites us to come together to celebrate and support all that we love about Saint Boniface. Over our altar hangs the symbol of our faith. This cross is also an apt symbol of our full and energetic life together at Saint Boniface. From every angle, you see its radiant beauty. But inspect it more closely, and you see that this luminous whole is made of countless distinct bits of color and light coming together to make something new, surprising and alive. Together, we create a wholeness as compelling as the cross that hangs over our altar.   We shine forth light and warmth, love and healing, hope and reconciliation.  Soon you’ll receive your appeal and pledge materials, take a moment to reflect on them and what you love about Saint Boniface and how you will support it.

WILL POWER   The New Year is the perfect time to make sure your affairs are in order. Without a will in place, the state will be the one to decide how your belongings will be distributed. By taking a few moments now to make a list of your loved ones, important charitable groups (including your church!), and your accumulated assets, you can create a plan to ensure that what you have goes to who you want. This simple legal document has the power to express your will and God’s will upon your death. To get started with your will, check our planning tool or contact Betsie Danner (941-349-5616 x318 or email).
 
MINISTRIES AND MONEY   Our operations budget and financials tell the story of our dreams for Saint Boniface and the ministries we carry forth into the world. Your pledges and gifts are crucial to the story! It can’t be told without you.
