WHY DO WE GIVE?

We give as an act of worship to our God who is always pouring his love and faithfulness to us. 
We give because we have first experienced the generosity of our God, who gives without reproach.
We give to participate in the work that the Lord is doing in our church, in our community, and in the body of Christ.
We give to respond and say "yes!" to being the hands and feet of Jesus, who is the head of the body.
 We give as an act of love, and we love because we first have first been loved by our Creator.   
 

2 Corinthians 9:7 
New International Version (NIV) 
 

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, 
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
