God's people have always been characterized by giving, but the way they've given has changed over time. For example, people no longer bring goats, sheep, calves and grain to God as they did in the Old Testament. Giving money is simpler, cleaner and theologically sounder since Jesus has made the ultimate sacrifice. As the way that money is exchanged changes, we at St. John's are extending members a new way to offer their financial gifts to God.
At St. John's Church, we'll continue to take an offering during the service for people who prefer to give by cash or check. For members who'd rather mail a check can do so to: St. John's, 110 South Clay Street, Sturgis MI 49091.
Giving is an important aspect of the Christian life. After all, Luke records that Jesus himself said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). At St. John's, we want to encourage all members to pray about giving and give as God leads them.
