Giving As Worship

Giving is an act of Worship, an expression of love and gratitude for God’s abundant love for us. Financial gifts are critical to enhance our church's resources, to strengthen our community, to expand our ministries, and to advance our missions. Because stewardship is an important aspect of our Christian life together, Holy Trinity offers many opportunities for giving.

As we approach the act of giving, we should reflect on the freedom that comes with generosity. In Proverbs 22:9, it says, “A generous person will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor.” When we give, we are not only blessing others, but we are also receiving blessings in return.

Generosity sets us free from the hold of material possessions and allows us to give, just as God has given so generously to us. It helps us to focus on the needs of others and make a tangible impact on their lives, whether it's through supporting our church ministry or helping those less fortunate through our relational missions.

Moreover, the act of giving motivates us to live with an open and grateful heart, inspiring others to do the same. When we give in love, we bring hope and joy to those around us and, ultimately, to ourselves. In this way, generosity becomes a beautiful cycle of giving and receiving, creating a community of love and grace.

So, as we give our offerings today, let us do so with a heart full of generosity, knowing that it brings freedom not only to ourselves but also to all of those around us.
