The Church, My Family, My Community

I never thought I would be so blessed. These are my friends, people I love being around, talking to, and hearing from. They are vulnerable, adaptable, honest, and funny. I couldn't ask for a better place to pastor. And I can't wait to see how our future together progresses.

Here's a pic of our Sunday School class. They're awesome.

Giving

I asked the Sunday School class at New Wash to ask come up with some questions they'd like answered for the next four weeks. We're taking a break from our book study and spending some time letting their curiosities drive the discussion.

This week, we treated the subject of giving, particularly in light of tight finances.

I was immensely encouraged by the question. No one asks that question who isn't actually trying to live out the Christian faith. The heart behind the question is one that genuinely wants to follow the Lord, and really needs help figuring out how to do it.

Anyway, I'm coming up with some practical ways to help with that question. We covered 2 Cor 9 and the concept of tithe in the Scriptures. But I'm open so suggestions for how you plan your giving for each semester, year, week. I'm looking for practical plans, here, not necessarily a biblical theology on giving.
