With a longer view down the pike

We're not ready to take this far yet, but we will eventually need to consider how we'll handle our offerings to God and neighbor through the community. The Relational Tithe may be a good source of ideas, if not a structure from which to build. Here's a link to their principles of giving https://www.relationaltithe.com/understanding.php . We could register our own relational tithing group on the website, linking us in solidarity to the other groups as a network, not as a binding relationship.

We'll need to work on becoming a recognized non-profit organization. The paper work is fairly straightforward.

Again, this isn't something we need to act on immediately, but it will need to be addressed eventually. Our finances are part of our spiritual response to God's blessings in our lives and must have a plan/goal. This is a place to begin the conversation.
