SBWC 50th Church Anniversary
There is a commemorative booklet in the works for our 50th church anniversary. We invite you all to be sponsors by purchasing an advertisement. This is also a wonderful opportunity to involve your employers, colleagues, family, and friends in our celebration by inviting them to be sponsors too. Details and sponsorship letters are available in the foyer. Orders can be placed easily online at our website, sbw.center. That’s sbw.center.
Take as many letters as you need to share, and don’t forget to follow up with those you invite. Space is limited, so we encourage early submissions. Please don’t wait to secure your space. We look forward to your participation and support as we prepare for this very special occasion.
Tithe & Offering
Did you know that financial struggles don’t free us from God’s command to give generously and joyfully. The Lord calls us to generosity, not because he needs our resources, but because he desires the best for us. Generosity requires trust, not money. No one can live generously without trusting the Lord. A wealthy person can give vast amounts of money apart from Christ, but true generosity requires sacrificial giving in joyful submission to the Lord. For that, you must trust that God is a good Father who will provide for you and that you matter to Him.
2 Corinthians 9:7 gives us freedom in our generosity. God doesn’t want gifts motivated by a sense of duty or obligation. He wants us to give from a place of joy and compassion. God loves a cheerful giver! There are several ways to give your tithe and offering!
