WHY “GIFTS OF GRACE?”
The name “Gifts of Grace” reflects the deep theological idea that all giving is an expression of God’s grace working through us. In the Episcopal tradition, grace is seen as an unearned, freely given gift from God that enables us to live in love, generosity and service to others. By choosing this name, Saint Anthony on the Desert emphasizes that these contributions are not simply financial; they are a response to God’s grace at work in the lives of each member.
This name also highlights that giving is a reciprocal experience—both a gift received and a gift offered back in gratitude. Every contribution to The Gifts of Grace initiative, no matter the size, embodies the grace-filled spirit of the giver, extending the reach of God’s love and sustaining the church’s mission.
