Manifest The Epiphany of the Lord

...Your light has come, the glory of the LORD shines upon you. - Isaiah 60:1 On this feast, we remember the journey of those seekers from the east, the Magi longing to see the newborn king of the Jews. Yet this feast celebrates not only their long-ago quest, but also our searching, our longing, right here and now. Not only a journey of more than two thousand years past, but a journey unfolding and evolving in the present. Like the Magi, we, too, are searching for the path that will lead us closer to the Holy One. We, too, share a desire to recog-nize the face of God in our midst. We, too, live in the hope of seeing Epiphany in the ordinary and the everyday. How does the presence of the Holy manifest itself in our time and place today? And how, when God is revealed, will we, like the Magi, express our joy at seeing that star? (Sr. Chris Koellhoffer, I.H.M., copyright LivingFaith 2018)

Giving is a Reflection of the Heart:

Matthew 6:20-21 “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

What’s the most important thing to you? We see the way our culture encourages us to store up treasures on earth and exalts materialism to the point where debt has become acceptable. As Christ-followers, we are called to free ourselves from the bondage of debt so that our resources are available for His purposes.

Giving is a Reflection of Priorities:

Long before tithing was a practice of the Israelite people, Cain and Abel brought an offering to the Lord. Abel brought the “firstborn of his flock” while Cain brought “some of the fruits of the soil.” The Lord blessed Abel’s offering but rejected Cain’s. God wants to be first in our lives.

Deuteronomy 26:1-2 “When you have entered the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance and have taken possession of it and settled in it, take some of the first fruits of all that you produce from the soil of the land and present them to the LORD your God.”

Giving is a Privilege:

2 Corinthians 8:2-4 “Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.”

Giving is a Blessing:

God uses the tithe as an investment where everyone involved gets a return. If we are blessed beyond our needs, it is not for the purpose of living more lavishly but to bless others. The church and the kingdom are blessed, and yet God’s nature is to also bless the giver.

Malachi 3:10 “‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.’”

What’s In Your Envelope!

Do you use your contribution envelopes?

If so, have you ever wondered where your contribution goes.

Regular Offering Envelopes: These donations go directly to the daily operation of our church. For example, it covers payroll, bulletins, liturgy and sacramental items and all expenses needed to operate the church.

Maintenance Offering: This goes toward the upkeep of the church, rectory, fellowship hall, and grounds work.

Flowers: On special days(i.e., Mother’s day, Father’sDay, Easter, Christmas, etc.) flowers are purchased for the altar. On the back of your envelope is a place to add your loved ones’ name. These envelopes will then be placed on the altar for special prayers.

Capital Project Offering: This is restricted solely for new construction, expansion, renovation, or replacement project for an existing facility.

National Collections: (i.e., Peter’s Pence, Seminarian, Priest Retirement collections) goes directly to the Diocese of Memphis and then distributed to the various recipients.

Bishop’s Appeal: This helps support diocesan ministries and services, reaching God’s people through numerous programs.
