Giving & Receiving: Join Us This Sunday As We Celebrate In-Giving!
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 2 Corinthians 9:10
Some folks approach giving to the church with timidity, a “something we just don’t talk about”. This can create a hive-mindset of scarcity instead of abundance and thus limit our efforts to increase the harvest.
Yet giving is a spiritual discipline; a concrete expression of worship and gratitude. It’s how we fund God’s vision through our congregation. It’s something to be spoken about out loud, even to the point of shouting and celebration, so we can succeed in our mission.
By now, you should’ve received the letter inviting you to pledge your support – along with a pledge sheet showing the many ways you can express and fulfill your gift – for the 2020 Planting Seeds Giving & Receiving campaign.
This Sunday, December 8
th is our In-Giving Sunday. Even if you have already turned in your pledge, please join us for either service, write your name and pledge amount on a pledge sheet (writing “duplicate” on the form if you’ve already made your pledge), and place it in the offering.
Your gift is a crucial investment in the life of our church. What we do now – the faithful planting of seeds – allows us both to feed our current mission and ministries and to plan for the intentional, fruitful growth of God’s Kingdom.
