I hope you are doing well. As our district’s representative your service and dedication are truly appreciated.
In January 2025, Shores Baptist Worship Center will celebrate its 50th church anniversary. Over the years, we’ve focused on serving the community by providing beneficial programs including faith education, community activities and a weekly grocery pantry for those in need in the Silver Springs Shores community.
We’re requesting a congratulatory letter from our city, county, and state officials to commemorate this milestone and strengthen community ties. Your message would highlight the impact of faith-based organizations like ours and inspire our volunteers. We plan to include the letter in a commemorative booklet. Thank you for considering our request and supporting our work.

Matthew 6:19-21 says, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
When the Bible talks about it being more blessed to give than receive, I couldn’t agree more. From thinking about the person and picking out the item to wrapping it and finally seeing the person’s reaction when they open it, the whole process is energizing for me and it helps me prioritize what is important.
3 THINGS THAT HAPPEN BY PRIORITIZING GIVING TO GOD’S KINGDOM
Our hearts change – When giving to God’s Kingdom becomes a priority, something amazing happens—our hearts begin to change. The importance of this world begins to lessen as we raise our gaze to see what God is doing and invest in it.
We do something God loves – God loves it when we give cheerfully to His purposes. It is an act of trust and obedience that shows what our hearts treasure… and that blesses God.
We get to join God in what He’s doing – “Look for where God is at work and join Him in it.” When giving to God’s kingdom becomes a priority, this is a tangible opportunity to do just that.
There are several ways to give your tithe and offering!
- Online at sbw.center,
- Text SBWC and the gift amount to 73256),
- Givelify App,

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!
Online at sbw.center, Text SBWC and the gift amount to 73256),
