November Stewardship Message

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing. — Malachi 3:10 (NRSV)

The Call to Faithful Giving:
Malachi 3:10 emphasizes the significance of bringing the full tithe into the storehouse, ensuring that God's house is provided for. In this passage, the Lord invites His people to test Him through their obedience, promising that He will open the floodgates of heaven and pour out immeasurable blessings for their faithfulness. This verse highlights both the responsibility of giving and the assurance of divine provision in response to faithful stewardship.

Stewardship Committee:
Alana Frett, Joanne Thomas, Fay Rhoden-Barrett, and Sheila Williams

Announcements:

The Theme for November is “Thanksgiving.”

Tuesday Morning Prayer Group Words of Wisdom Quote: You can't walk with Jesus and the world. They're going in two different directions.
