Why Tithe?
Commitment Sunday is this Sunday, September 23rd.
Why Tithe? is the theme of MLC’s Fall Stewardship Emphasis. The Bible gives tithing as a model for Christian giving. Please prayerfully consider your financial giving for 2019 and return your card which was sent by mail earlier this week. You may also use the enclosed envelope in the mailing to return your pledge to Marc Neely, MLC’s Financial Secretary.
