APOSTLES
IN MISSION (AIM)
Every
1st and 3rd Sundays the ushers pass baskets
for a second collection, and we mention
that this is an "AIM Sunday," but
perhaps not everyone knows what this means.
This collection goes into a separate fund
administered by the Community Advocacy Committee
and provides funds for a number of needs.
Often, the Rector's Discretionary Fund calls
upon the AIM Fund to help both parish members
and individuals in the community with special
and urgent financial problems. It has also
provided funds in response to appeals from
missionaries, from the People's Settlement
House to enable them to hold holiday dinners
and from Limen House which provides transitional
housing for those recovering from addiction.
Much good work of mercy is done by this fund
and you are encouraged to give generously.
UNITED
THANK OFFERING
Each
Spring and Fall we collect funds for
the United Thank Offering to further the
work of the Episcopal Church. The mission
of the UTO is to “expand the circle
of thankful people”. Click

MEMORIAL GIFTS
Please
contact the Rector through the church office at (302)
656-6628 if you are interested in giving a gift in
memory or in honor of a loved one. There are a variety
of opportunities such as the purchase of a new
Carillon, the Organ Restoration, Liturgical
Vestments, Vessels and other Accoutrements, Sacred
Art as well as gifts that would benefit
our Sunday School, Choir and
other ministries of the parish. Community Outreach
programs such as Friendship House could also
benefit from your memorial gift.
CASH CONTRIBUTIONS
If you make cash contributions to SsAM and want to deduct those donations on your income tax, please put your donation in an envelope on which is written your name and address. Pledge envelopes can serve this purpose if you write your name and address on them. This way, SsAM can send you a contribution statement at year's end, a statement the IRS now requires if you want to deduct cash contributions.
