Thank you for your support!

Before establishing the first covenant with Abraham, God called Abraham to leave his family and his household and made this promise, “I will make of you a great nation and will bless you. I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing.” There in the beginning of Genesis 12, God’s people are told that we are “blessed to be a blessing.”

 

We should all give and give generously. That is how we say “thank you” to God for all the blessings God provides us. Giving is how we prioritize God and reflect the value of God’s work in our lives. And when we give, the blessings we have received from God are passed along to be a blessing in the lives of others. We invite you to be a blessing to all who are touched by the ministries of First United Methodist Church.

You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous in every way. Such generosity produces thanksgiving to God through us. Your ministry of this service to God’s people isn’t only fully meeting their needs but it is also multiplying in many expressions of thanksgiving to God.

~2 Corinthians 9: 11-12
