“HOW CAN I GIVE TO THE THANKSGIVING OFFERING?”

We encourage every Giving Friend to make a personal offering to the Thanksgiving Offering.  IT IS NEVER TOO LATE – we keep our Thanksgiving Offering open all year long.  NO OFFERING IS INSIGNIFICANT.  All of our offerings together – of whatever amount – make up the total and make it work.

• SOME CHURCHES DESIGNATE AN AMOUNT TO BE GIVEN FROM THEIR CHURCH TREASURY.  Of course, these gifts come from the offerings the church members have given.

• SOME CHURCHES ALSO GIVE THEIR MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD PERSONAL OFFERINGS TO WHAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO GIVE FROM THEIR TREASURY – increasing their church’s total offering by those gifts.

• IF YOU ARE ALREADY GIVING A PERSONAL GIFT TO THE THANKSGIVING OFFERING, PLEASE GIVE AS GENEROUS AN OFFERING AS YOU CAN.  Many of you already give hundreds and even thousands of dollars in personal gifts to the Thanksgiving Offering – either directly to BFM or through your church’s offering.  It would not be what it is without your gift.

• IF YOU ARE NOT PRESENTLY GIVING A PERSONAL OFFERING TO THE THANKSGIVING OFFERING, WOULD YOU COMMIT TO BEGIN?  Pray and ask the Lord how He wants you to purpose in your own heart.  Then follow His prompting.  Can you give the equivalent of $1 a day for the year?  Can you give the equivalent of $1 per week for the year?  The important step is TO BEGIN GIVING.
