Today, the offering is designated for local conference advance. The conference advance offering gives our conference the opportunity to support a variety of projects for all churches under their care. The conference is a fellowship of local congregations and, by working together we accomplish much more. Evangelism is one of the ministries that the local conference supports with the offering we give. Evangelism is central to the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. By joining with other churches in this offering, we can provide the funds needed to strengthen existing churches and also plant new congregations.
Today, you and I are invited to return the tithe to the Lord. God asks us to return a faithful tithe and we receive something wonderful from Him. Ellen White writes that tithing will “be a blessing to those who carry it out to the end of time” (Stewardship, page 67). Members who have been faithful tithers can testify of the blessings given to them. You and I can experience that blessing.
Thank you for returning God’s tithe and giving an offering for the conference advance.
