Want to Blessed Abundantly in 2013?

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?
