God owns everything. God gives abundantly. We are not to keep God's resources; we are to circulate these resources. God's blessings are then recycled to create more blessings." -- Eric Law, Holy Currencies
There are many ways to give to Grace
Many of us give the good old-fashioned way, by putting cash or check into the offering plate, often enclosed within a pledge envelope, when we attend services. Nothing wrong with that! and if you would like pledge envelopes, please contact the office.
Others have instructed their bank to send automatic payments to our address or directly deposited donations to our operating account at the Bank of Millbrook on whatever schedule works best. Others send a single check annually or at various times during the year. That works too! You can contact the office and Cathy Shanks our treasurer will answer any questions about how to do direct deposits.
We have also added a few online methods—though we are admittedly working out the kinks. One platform, Kindred, we are phasing out, as we feel their service charges are too high. If you are currently using Kindred, we encourage you to change your regular giving to our account at Paypal— we have added the link to our Paypal account below. Another way to give is through Venmo—the QR code at the bottom of this page will open to our account and you can give that way. Again, if you have questions, contact the office. We can help with answers.
We are still working on getting all these ways to work smoothly, and we pledge on our part to give you an accurate and timely account of your donations, whether pledged or other donations—say for flowers, or fund-raising efforts—so that you have a verified account of your Grace Church charitable contributions for your tax returns. As always, please let us know if our records do not exactly match yours and we will clear up any mistakes.
Finally, please consider giving to Grace Church through planned giving as part of your estate planning, charitable grants from family foundations, or other charitable gift vehicles. Whatever works best for you, we are ready to help. Whether the amount you can give is a bequest that will help us fund an endowment (that would be nice!) or the the proverbial widow’s mite, we are very thankful—for all are needed. After all, we are one in our work of serving the world in God’s name.
Please see the links below for donating by way of credit card, PayPal, or Venmo.

Estimated Giving
Most of our normal operating budget is supported by people who give annually an estimated amount of their income. Every fall we have a Stewardship campaign in which we invite people to join and become a Pledger. Our finance manager, David Swift, is available to discuss this; please email him at [email protected].
Donate
We appreciate the continued giving spirit of the Grace Millbrook community in supporting our programs and worship. We accept donations in person at the Parish Office or online Paypal (button below).
Money is meant to circulate. Money pays the bills that keep the church's lights on, the staff paid, but most importantly, the ministries empowered, sustained, and growing. We are here to do God's work-- to heal a broken world, worship an awesome God, teach our children, and help our neighbors. There are many ways to give to the Church.
Planned Giving
The church is often a part of the lives of the people for many years. Through baptisms, weddings, and funerals, the Church is there-- for both its members and for those who come knocking at the door. We encourage you to consider the church as part of your estate planning. To learn more email the office at [email protected]
