"Give, and it shall be given to you..."

Luke 6:38 tells us, "give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you." (ESV) Since the Word of God is true, and God gives to giving Churches, we must have blessings headed our way!

Over the five Sundays in November, we gave nearly $1,100.00 to the Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering; and last Sunday we gave $720.00 in a special offering for the Klay family, over $3,000.00 to the general fund, $700.00 in the special offering taken for "Les Snyder and the Sons of the Father" at the Christmas Concert, $500.00 toward the cost of a new engine for their motor home, and enough "Tearing Down the Wall of Debt" funds came in to take down another brick this coming Sunday Morning!

WOW! If I could think of something more profound to say, I would! WOW!

And, this coming Sunday morning we will begin receiving our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions! Lets all pray and sacrifically give each Sunday in December to make this our largest missions offering of the year!

Oh, by the way, we will be voting on the proposed 2010 Annual Budget this coming Sunday morning which will be the largest budget in the history of our Church; and when passed, it will double the amount of missions support we give to Central Baptist Association and to the Cooperative Program!

WOW!

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! I'm proud to be a part of such a giving, generous church.
