A Note About On-Line Donations
In June, 2023, SsAM moved to a new platform for giving, beginning with credit card donations. If you use the “MAKE A DONATION” button above, you may give to SsAM through recurring gifts (pledge/tithe), or on an occasional basis (for altar flowers; Apostles in Ministry, music or any other ministry). ServantKeeper gives you the option of creating an account so you only have to enter your credit card once. ServantKeeper has numerous security features in place, so your data is secure. ServantKeeper helps SsAM because it is integrated into our existing database. If you have questions, please click here to contact the Church Office or call 302 656-6628.
One advantage to setting up a ServantKeeper account is that you then have access to your history of donations to SsAM.

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 “Apostles In Mission” collection goes into a separate fund administered by the Community Advocacy Committee and provides funds for a number of needs. In the past, recipients have included our annual scholarship program, the Baylor Women’s Art Project, Episcopal Relief and Development, Habitat for Humanity, and some individuals in need. Also, each year, scholarships are awarded. Much good work of mercy is done by this fund and you are encouraged to give generously.
