Giving
A note from the Business Office
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not parish but have eternal life. John 3:16
For God so Loved…That He Gave
This verse, that most of us know by heart, shows us the ultimate foundation for why and how we should give. First, God’s motivation was love, He so loved the world; secondly, He gave of Himself through His son Jesus, He gave sacrificially. And lastly, He gave in response to our need so we would not perish but have eternal life with Him. This Easter season, as we ponder the depth of God’s love and sacrifice in order to save us, remember His great example as we give gifts to our church. Give with love, give sacrificially, and give in response to the needs of our ministries and missions of the church.
