This year we are setting aside the month of November to give thanks to God for his faithfulness to us, and to take a special thank offering to further God’s purposes in and through our church.
During this time, our teaching series will be highlighting different reasons for giving thanks – for God’s world and its beauty, for his work in our lives, for his people who strengthen us, and for his Son Jesus, our Saviour and King.
GRATITUDE IS A WONDERFUL SOIL FOR THE WORK OF GOD’S KINGDOM, AND WE CULTIVATE THIS SOIL AS WE CHOOSE TO GIVE THANKS TO HIM.
Gratitude can be expressed in different ways.
One way is through sharing stories of faith – so we will be making special time
for testimonies during Sunday services.
Another way is through our special Thank Offering
THANK OFFERING 2022
Our Thank Offering this year comes in the context of praise. We are so grateful to God that 95% of our budgeted income is already accounted for (in gifts or anticipated income)! This is a wonderful encouragement as we pray for God to provide the final £35,000 that we need to finance our ministry and mission this year.
Please ask God how much you might contribute towards this year’s Thank Offering.
REGULAR MONTHLY GIVING
We also encourage you to take this opportunity to switch to regular monthly giving. Giving this way has real advantages. It spreads the load for those making the gift, but it also provides a much more stable environment for the church team as we manage our finances and seek to plan ahead.
Currently around 80 people (or families) give to our church through regular monthly giving. We would love for this to increase to over 100 people. Please consider giving this way!
