MINISTRY THROUGH TITHES AND OFFERINGS By: Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane Director of Stewardship & Generosity, Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church God of the cosmos and God of every heartbeat: Your work touches every corner of creation; yet, when times are hard, we wonder if you’ve deserted us, and we become tight-fisted and fearful that sharing with others will leave us empty handed. As we bring these gifts to your altar, give us the eyes to see and the hearts to know that you never desert us and never send us away in need. In the name of your Son who came to remind us of your closeness and to give his life so that ours might be eternal. Amen. (Job 23:1-9, 16-17)

TITHES AND OFFERING
We are now in the final quarter of the year and we need to finish strong. We have some major updates and upgrades that must be made to our facility, and we need each member to be fully committed. Our faithful stewardship is very important! Like other churches, we are pressing our way through this pandemic. We also have our Capital Campaign commitments that we must honor. Determine your “above and beyond giving” for this year and please take some time to pray about it. Please make your contribution with cheerful and generous hearts. God has blessed us all in mighty ways. WORSHIP LEADERS FOR 2022
