Offerings

During the worship service there is a time for the “Offering.”  This is the time when we offer gifts to God with the rest of the congregation.  The money that we give supports all the work of the church.  If you think about it, all that we have is a gift from God—life, food, family and most important, our Savior Jesus!  When we give an offering, we are saying thanks to God for all of these wonderful gifts.  We don’t give because we have to, we give because, in faith, we want to! How much should you give?  As much as you think you are able, willing and challenged to give.  The Bible suggests 10%, but that's between you and God.
