Tithing

I have been setting aside some First Tithe recently to my HSBC UK account.  I intend to save there until such time as it becomes clear where to transfer the funds to Church.  At the moment, the Church is in disarray and not at all unified in purpose.   This needs to change.  However, as of 1 December I will stop tithing on my benefits as welfare payments are low and meant for the needy - every pound or dollar counts when you are on the breadline.  You also do not need tithe on your pension.

Regarding Second Tithe however, I aim to save up on my ESA payments towards, hopefully, a trip to Paris for the Feast next year.  I will have to be disciplined about my saving - otherwise it will another year keeping the Feast at home in Stockton-on-Tees.

This is also my Third Tithe year, a time give an extra 10% to those in need. But that includes me!  So I will only give where I am able, and as my finances permit - in other words with the a pound here and there.
