Gift Day 08
Wednesday 12th November
This Sunday will be our Church Gift Day. Each year, we set aside one Sunday for giving thanks to God for all that He has done for us – and we invite people to make an extra gift, which is then given for a specific purpose. Usually, the gifts go towards some special project at the Church. Last year, to mark the fact that God had been very good to us, we felt that we should give the whole of our Gift Day offering away to godly causes. In the event, we raised a record amount of more than £4400 – and we were able to support Christian work here in Thanet, accross the UK, and all over the world.
This year, our Gift Day offering will go towards the cost of our new data projector at the Church. We bought it in the summer, with money borrowed from another fund, and it has proved to be a great improvement on the old equipment. The pictures are now clear and sharp, and we can all see clearly. However, the money needs to be repaid – so we decided to use this year’s Gift Day for that purpose. Times have changed, and we are all now having to be careful with our limited funds – but we do hope that you will want to give generously and sacrificially, as an offering of thanks for God’s goodness and blessing.
On Sunday evening, there will be another Cafe Church Service at 6.30pm. These have proved to be very successful and challenging in the past, and I am sure this one will be the same. Coffee and cakes will be available throughout the evening, and there will be music and drama, as well as other input to make you think. Do come and join us if you can. Have a great week – Stephen.
