It is important to understand the concept of Biblical Stewardship. Please read this information to find out more about how God wants to use the process of giving offerings to the work of the Church to bless you and deepen your faith.

Just like giving gifts to people you love helps deepen your relationship, so giving gifts to God has a way of deepening your relationship with Him. God created the church as His chosen way of working on earth. He created it so we could be intimately involved with Him in doing His work. Part of the experience is enjoying giving gifts to the work of His kingdom.

Biblical stewardship includes the following aspects…

• Cheerful: God loves a cheerful giver.
• Proportionate: God asks us to give to him in proportion with the other blessings in our lives such as our cars, home, vacations, clothing, gifts, etc.
• First fruit: God asks us to give our offerings to Him first, and then take care of our needs second.
• Regular: God asks us to give regularly and consistently

We provide offering envelopes for individuals who are joining Messiah Lutheran Church . The envelopes are used to track your offerings to provide you with a semi-annual statement that will help you in planning your stewardship and offerings to the Lord – and give you a statement of charitable contributions for tax purposes.

To obtain offering envelopes, indicate your request on the Sunday morning attendance sheet or call the church office.
