"First Fruits Giving" (as opposed to giving to God out of your leftovers) is a spiritual discipline.  It's easy to do: Look at your paycheck to determine your weekly after-tax income and then use the chart below (larger version: https://goo.gl/P6rXPb) to determine your percentage giving.  For 2017, consider bumping up your giving—to all your favorite charities—by a percentage point.  If you have never made a pledge to your church (even if you are a regular giver), please consider your first pledge in 2017.  It helps us plan and is a personally rewarding step in your spiritual life!
