GIVING FINANCIALLY
From the Finance Committee:
Each act of financial giving to the Lord is a testimony to your willingness to TRUST God in your life. Each time you give, you are acknowledging your total and complete dependence on Him as your Heavenly Father. Not to give faithfully to the Lord’s work is a sign that you’re unwilling to trust God in your life.
“ ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.’ “ Malachi 3:10
SUPPORT PENDER THROUGH YOUR PRAYERS, GIVING AND SERVICE
We are asking everyone to prayerfully ask for God’s provision to fulfill the spiritual, physical, people and financial needs of Pender United Methodist Church. Some of the current needs of the church include the following:
• The church building needs a new roof so that when God blesses us with much needed rain, the rain stays on the outside of the building.
• Pender has faithfully paid its share of apportionments in the past. The apportionments represent the share Pender, as a local church, contributes to the Virginia United Methodist Conference to support local, national, and international missions and pastor retirements. Current levels of giving are insufficient to allow for the payment of apportionments this year.
Please prayerfully consider whether God is calling you to be the answer to prayer to meet the needs of the church.
The following prayer is being shared to guide you as you pray for Pender’s needs.
Dear Lord,
You are worthy to be praised. You are the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Alpha and the Omega, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Equip us to strive for Your kingdom and for Your righteousness. You promise that if we do so, all these things will be given us. You know what Pender United Methodist church needs.
We pray using Your word for the funding needed for a brand-new roof. We also pray using Your word for the funding to allow Pender to pay its share of apportionments this year.
We thank You for Your providence and we pray with gratitude and expectation. In Your Precious Name we pray. Amen and Alleluia.
We trust that the One who has been faithful in the past will be faithful in the future.
Thank you for your continued giving, service and prayers.
