INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS By: Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church Mighty God: Bringing our tithes and offerings to you today, we pray over them and sing your praises. Then we slink back into our day-today lives, hoping those gifts meet the expectations of our discipleship. You have called us to do more – to speak for you, to make our testimony part of our offering, which terrifies us. Then scripture reminds us that you will provide us with the words. Give us the faith and courage to speak of your love, mercy, and compassion. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen. (Jeremiah 1:4-10)
BLESSING AND SENDING FORTH Go in peace.

FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP Our faithful stewardship is especially important at this time; we have a lot of work to do. We are starting the work on replacing the HVAC system in the sanctuary; therefore, we need each member to go above and beyond by contributing an extra $50.00 per month. This extra contribution will allow us to take care of the incurred expenses expeditiously. Thank you all for your continued support. FOOD PANTRY ITEMS NEEDED Our Food Pantry is in need of various items to help us continue to serve the community. Please check your email for the list of needed items. Your donations will be very much appreciated. FOOD ITEMS Please check the refrigerator and the tables at the end of the hall for food items. If you get items, you MUST write your name on the “sign-in sheet” for statistical purposes. (See the clipboard located next to the tables at the end of the hall.)
