Make sure to offer your weekly tithe. Give back to God what belongs to Him. We have a box in the back of the church where you can place your tithe. You don’t need to let anyone know, it should be done quietly and with prayer. Divine Liturgy takes on a completly different meaning when we include our tithe as part of our worship. Through our tithe we participate in the worship of thanksgiving by giving God thanks for everything He has given to us.
