It is more blessed to give than receive!

Jesus showed us the ultimate example of giving when he gave his own life as a sacrifice for our sins so that we could be forgiven and receive the hope of eternal life.

As people who have received such an amazing gift, we are now set free to cheerfully give to provide the resources to spread the message of real hope in the real Jesus through believing in the gospel.

Our church needs over $270,000 per year from gifts in order to continue our work of sharing the gospel with children, youth, families, adults, and seniors in Oak Flats and beyond. All our income comes from the generosity of the people in our church.

If you are a part of our church then we’d love you to be involved in financial partnership so that we can keep telling people about Jesus.

As we read in the Bible in 2 Corinthians 2:7-8:

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

You can now use your Visa or MasterCard to make regular gifts to our church. This helps you keep your regular commitments to give to our ministry, and it also really helps us as we make plans for our future. It also reduces the amount of cash held on our premises, which helps improve our safety.

If you’re not already giving electronically, would you consider switching? Go to www.oakflatsanglican.com/give for simple instructions to help you get started.
