Please consider becoming a pledging member of Christ & Saint Stephen's Church.

Stewardship is about being grateful, responsible stewards of the gifts we receive from God. The tradition of giving back to God and to the church comes from the Biblical practice of “tithing,” which means to give back a tenth of our earnings to God.

The Episcopal Church sees stewardship as more than simply contributing money to the church; it’s about reaching out to build relationships from a perspective of abundance instead of scarcity.

Stewardship Keeps Our Doors Open!

Providing flowers for our Sunday worship is a way to remember a loved one, give thanks for a blessing, or honor someone important in your life. Make your flower dedication any Sunday except the Sundays in Lent (when we have no flowers in the church), the Christmas services or Easter Day. To secure a particular Sunday for your flower dedication, call the office at 212-787-2755 ext. 0 or send an e-mail request to Kristin at [email protected].

The standard donation is $45. Please send your check to the parish office (attention: Kristin) two weeks prior to the selected date including the dedication information for the Sunday bulletin.
