Church Family,
We are in the midst of a Stewardship Campaign, The Pyramid of Christian Generosity.
I hope you are reading the daily devotionals. You can find them linked on social media daily and on our Bulletins and Newsletters page here https://www.christchurchgastonia.org/bulletins-and-newsletters .
The primary principle to take from this is “We have a greater need to give than God does to receive.” The Sermon from 1/22/2023 was about this if you missed it you can go to the link here to find it at https://youtu.be/TMHOKGTGbzY?t=2648
The sermon starts at 44:08 the link should take you to the correct time.
Over the next three weeks, we will talk about our need to give back to God for the gracious gift of our life and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This Sunday 1/29/2023 we will be looking at Ephesians 1:18 and how we give Occasionally and Intentionally. If you can’t be here in person you can see the service at 9:30 a.m. or later at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4T4R5rEQW8
Most of all don’t let a stewardship campaign intimidate you. We are talking about money, but it's non-threatening, low anxiety, relaxed and spiritual. So I hope to see you on Sunday.
Peace,
Pastor Burt
