  14. Teaching & prayer on giving • What does the Bible tell us about giving? • A great deal! ... but where to start? • review Malachi 3:6-12 “I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you.” says the LORD Almighty. “But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’ “Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’ CHRIST CHURCH GUILDFORD FUTURE PLANS

  15. Teaching & prayer on giving • What does the Bible tell us about giving? • A great deal! ... but where to start? • review Malachi 3:6-12 “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse – the whole nation of you – because you are robbing me. 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 enough room for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops and the vines in the field will not cast their fruit.” says the LORD Almighty. CHRIST CHURCH GUILDFORD FUTURE PLANS

  16. Teaching & prayer on giving • What does the Bible tell us about giving? • A great deal! ... but where to start? • review Malachi 3:6-12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours is a delightful land,” says the LORD Almighty. CHRIST CHURCH GUILDFORD FUTURE PLANS

  17. Teaching & prayer on giving • What does the Bible tell us about giving? • A great deal! ... but where to start? • review Malachi 4:6-12 • 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. CHRIST CHURCH GUILDFORD FUTURE PLANS

You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. CHRIST CHURCH GUILDFORD FUTURE PLANS

  22. 2009 financial information snapshot • Overall incomefor 2009 was £230,004. This included planned giving via Gift Aid of £136,442 (before recovery of tax). • Overall expenditure for 2009 was £236,489. So, the Church had a shortfall of £6,485. • Savings against budget included approx. £9000 on loan cost for Ivor Close due to the low interest rates • 2009 budget provided for a Children & Families’ Minister. Cheryl left part way through the year. Other expenditure was down too, so we had a net saving of nearly £6000 against the youth/children’s work budget. • Planned one-off capital expenditure of £28,885 on the new kitchen and toilets contributed to the overall shortfall.
