GENEROSITY REPORT
〰️
GENEROSITY REPORT 〰️
Giving regularly is a way to express our love and trust in God's provision. It's not about the amount given, but the intention and heart behind it. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, "Let each one give thoughtfully and with purpose just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift."
As we work together to fulfill our mission in Green Bay, we want to keep you more regularly informed about our financial journey. Each week we will inform you of where we stand. For the week of April 24th • Total giving was $34,232 -- about $4,200 below our target
Your prayers and contributions truly make a difference in advancing our mission and serving our community! Thank you for your commitment and passion for our church!
