STEWARDSHIP CORNER
Let’s all get excited about the First Fruits Stewardship Campaign for 2020. First Fruits in Hebrew is “bikkurim” which translates to “promise to come”. The Israelites saw these first fruits as an investment in their future. God told them that if they brought their first fruits to him, he would bless all that came afterword. As a church, there are many needs. It takes financial support to do God’s work. Please consider investing in the future of the Church as well as your own and remember God always keeps his promises.
