Day of Giving – 20 Oct 2024

This Sunday is our Day of Giving.

In the Old Testament, the “Thanks Offering” was the second of five offerings listed at the start of Leviticus. It was an offering where people gave back to God in recognition of the much He had given them.

At our service this Sunday, we will focus on giving thanks and praise to God for His incredible goodness to us. During the service, you will have the opportunity to bring an offering—above and beyond your normal giving—as an expression of gratitude. We encourage whole families to participate, and we suggest that you involve your children too. From past experience, I can tell you that it will be a powerful and meaningful moment for you!
After the service, we’ll have “Vitamin O” (donuts), followed by a Chicken Burger Brunch, which is free of charge. You only need to bring something to drink, and, if you’d like, a salad to share. We will provide chicken, burgers, sauces, plates, napkins, and ice cream. Uncle Andrew will entertain us with a magic show, and we’ll have fun with French Cricket and other family games.

We’ll light the fires straight after church, and the burgers should be ready by 11:00 AM. We plan to wrap up by 12:00 PM. It’s essential to book for the Burger Brunch at https://forms.gle/wAccG5Z2iFpKmGY3A so we can cater appropriately. If you have trouble with the form, feel free to contact me. (Please do this by Friday 20h00)

Sunday is going to be a special day of devotion and fellowship, and I’m really looking forward to seeing you there!

GodBless and Love,

Theo

P.S.: If you can’t make it in person, our online service will also focus on Thanksgiving. We encourage members to give their offering via Bank EFT, as it’s safer and incurs fewer bank charges. When making an EFT, please use “Day of Giving” or “DOG” as the reference. On Sunday, when offerings are brought forward, simply write the amount you deposited on a piece of paper (no other details) and place it in the offering so the Board Members can include it in the tally.
