Why give?
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.
Psalm 24:1
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:7-8
Since early Christianity the creed spoke: " I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth." We believe that with all our heart. God is the one who not only created us, but redeemed us through Jesus and brought us into the family of God through the waters of baptism. It is God's generosity that motivates our hearts to be generous. We joyfully bring back to the Lord a portion of what he has given us. We give back to the Lord by giving to Zion, his congregation of believers who join together in ministry to bring glory to God.
At Zion, we desire to become a people moved by the Holy Spirit to be generous, where our financial giving supports the mission of preaching, teaching, and living the gospel in our neighborhoods and around the world.
Thank you for giving generously, not only to the mission of our congregation, but to the God who has so generously given us all things.
