The Importance Of Preparing To Give

By Gloria Garner

September 2009

The Wonderful Weekend for Women conference is almost here. If you are planning to attend WWW (and we hope you are) you are probably already making plans for that weekend. You may have had to ask time off from work, you may be adjusting family schedules for childcare and meals.

Hopefully you are preparing spiritually by praying for the speaker, musicians, conference leaders, and yourself and friends who will attend. It is not too early to seek God’s face and ask for an outpouring of His Spirit on those who will be there.
It is also timely to begin to consider your participation in the offering that will be received in the Friday morning service. Several opportunities exist, including the:

  • Touch Tomorrow Today offering, named for former WMU Executive Director Yvonne Keefer. This offering helps to support the work of national Woman’s Missionary Union, and when our giving to this fund totals $10,000, a portion of additional gifts will be returned to Kansas/Nebraska to fund women’s work here.
  • Kelley Shelton Women’s Leadership Fund, named for a young woman who lost her life several years ago while preparing for the new work God had called her to. Monies from this fund are used to provide training in spiritual leadership for women in our two-state convention.

I hope you are praying about the offering God would have you give for the furtherance of His kingdom work. You will be blessed when you do.
