I Love My Church Sunday

MOTHERS DAY Is the second Sunday in May and we thank God for all those whom God has called to share their maternal gifts with others.

Want to Blessed Abundantly in 2012?

God has consistently asked his people to trust in him completely through pray, worship, tithes and offerings. If we are to be blessed as a congregation each member must be faithful. This year plan to show your trust in God by giving 10% of your earnings to your church. Malachi 3 says, to put God to the test, and see if the floodgates of heaven would not pour a blessing that you would not have room enough to receive it all. How big is your faith?
