Living and Giving in Christ: Unity through Diocesan Ministries is the annual appeal for the Diocese of Cheyenne. 

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
(2 Corinthians 9:7)

This year, as you prayerfully contribute to Living and Giving in Christ: Unity through Diocesan Ministries, envision your offering as a way to participate in the mission of Christ of which we all are co-responsible. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to use our varied gifts to become that mission. By the grace of the Spirit, we bring Christ to the world. Through us, his life overflows to others.

Saint Paul illustrates how a disciple becomes mission. It means constant conversion – a heart transformed by Christ’s mercy and a life overflowing with love for others. It includes the courage to proclaim the Gospel, even to those who do not receive it well. In the Second letter to the Corinthians, Paul urges churches to give to one another because of the grace overflowing in them. He wrote about the churches of Macedonia:
“Their abundant joy and their extreme poverty overflowed in the wealth of their generosity . . . Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace overflow to you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you will overflow in every good work” (2 Corinthians 8:2; 9:7-8).

Advancing the mission of the Church is at the heart of the Living and Giving in Christ: Unity through Diocesan Ministries annual appeal, and your gift overflows to our sisters and brothers across Wyoming.  Funds from this annual appeal help to support the salaries and administration of offices and ministries in the Chancery Office, which exist to assist parishes in their missions. Tithing from Living and Giving in Christ helps to provide vital support to those most in need throughout Wyoming and the United States,
as well as to our sisters and brothers across the globe.
