God is Here There is a sweet anointing in this sanctuary There is a stillness in the atmosphere Come and lay down the burdens you have carried For in the sanctuary, God is here He is here He is here To break the yoke and the lift the heavy burden He is here He is here To heal the hopeless heart and bless the broken Come and lay down the burdens you have carried For in the sanctuary, God is here
CELEBRATION OF GIVING LITANY LEADER: It is now time for us to share in giving. Why do we give? CONGREGATION: We give because all we have comes from God. According to Deuteronomy 8:18, it is God who gives us the power to get wealth. LEADER: Why do we give? CONGREGATION: We give because God commands us. Malachi 3:10 states that we are to bring the full tithe into God s storehouse. LEADER: Why do we give? CONGREGATION: We give because God said in Luke 6:38, to give and He would give back to us a more abundant blessing. LEADER: Why do we give? CONGREGATION: We give because 2 Corinthians 9:7 states that God loves a cheerful giver. ALL: Thank you Lord, for the privilege of giving. We are excited about paying the tithe and giving the offering. We know that you are faithful to your promises. Therefore, we trust you in faith to do what you have said. AMEN!
