PRIMARY OFFERING: THE BLESSED LIFE TERM 4 2017 Hi there! Here’s a template for a short offering message in the service. Essentially, it’s a chance to share your heat on generosity and instill that in the kids. Keep it short and powerful and practical – the Message is the main message of the service, but this Offering Message can definitely support it. The following are some ideas that might trigger your thoughts.
Offering • • • • • •
“I love to give to God because he first gave to me. Before I was even born, he sent Jesus to save me and I am so thankful.” “I love to give because everything that I have actually belongs to God, so I’m just giving some of it back.” “God trusts me to look after the things that he gives me, so I can trust God with the things that I give him.” “God is better at looking after my money than I am. When I give to him, I believe that he will look after my money and bless me.” “I give because I love that the church uses money to help people.” “I love to give because it’s just being obedient to God – doing what he has asked me to do.”
