Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May His grace and peace be with you today.
Giving of our tithes and offerings is an act of worship. God calls us to give according to what we have, not what we don’t have. We give in faith as He provides for us. The Apostle Paul wrote two chapters on giving to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 8 and 9), and He told them, “Whatever you give is acceptable if you give it eagerly. And give according to what you have, not what you don’t have” (2 Corinthians 8:12, NLT).
This is a great principle which I have seen practiced by many faithful Christians. I have seen adults place as little as $1.00 in an offering envelope and give, just so they could give as a part of worship.
There are several ways to give: (The texting and online giving methods are secure methods provided through our church management software. The church does pay a processing fee for texting and online giving. These methods do however save us from having to physically count and process offerings. There is no fee to us when you use your bank’s online service or when a check is mailed to the church.)
FIVE WAYS TO GIVE
1. Give in person at Gateway. We have offering boxes in the foyer and offering plates on the left and right sides of the camera in the sanctuary.
2 Write out your check and mail it to Gateway Church, 701 Formosa Avenue, Winter Park, FL, 32789.
3. Use your bank's bill pay service to give your tithes and offerings.
4. Text the amount you are giving to: (407) 543-0290.
5. Give online here (https://killarney.breezechms.com/give/online).
We have an offering time during our livestream services. I encourage you to use this time to worship God through giving. You may write out your check or text an offering during this time, or pray over the offering that you have given or will give.
Thank you for your love and faithfulness. I pray that God will protect you, give you His peace, and provide for your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:10-20).
God bless you and keep you! See you Sunday—in person or on livestream at Gateway Live.
In Christ, Pastor Bruce Mayhew
