Dear Brook Hollow Family,
During Bible study on Wednesday nights we have been having a conversation about worship. “What is the purpose of worship? Why do we worship?” One element of our worship each week is receiving the offering. For the next few weeks, in this space, I will give some fine details regarding the weekly offering and the church’s budget.
We are a Baptist church and that means we support many Baptist endeavors. A percentage of our weekly offering goes to support Baptist missionaries around the globe, across our continent, and even here in Tennessee . Baptist missions and missionaries are supported through the Southern Baptist Convention and/or the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. (To support the CBF, you must designate that request on your offering envelope.)
These missionaries are sharing the gospel in creative and innovative ways, along with traditional ways. Our Baptist missionaries are being faithful to God’s call in their lives. We encourage them with our prayers, support, and every dollar placed in the offering plate.
Supporting Baptist missions and missionaries is one thing that our weekly offering supports.
Blessings,
Pastor Tom
