Because money has such a hold on us—especially if we don’t think we have enough of it—once we set out to trust God and tithe, we are always up against the temptation to say “this week (this month) I’ll give less because my financial needs are greater. I’ll return to tithing next week (next month).” But this is not trusting in God, it’s suspending trust in God . . . for a week or a month. But it’s always a temptation and it’s easy to give in to.

One way of being rid of the temptation is by using a service like WeShare. WeShare is a service offered by an independent company that automatically deducts your donation from either your bank account or a selected credit card and deposits it into the Church’s bank account after deducting a miniscule service fee. You can select to have your tithe deducted weekly or monthly. Makes life easy! Of course, you can use Parish Pay even if you don’t tithe, but it’s especially attractive to tithers. To sign up for WeShare, go online to https://stpeterrosendale.churchgiving.com/ or call 1-800-950-9952. Be ready with all your contact information. At the end of the year, WeShare sends you notice of your contributions for income-tax purposes.
