A special letter for the FBC Wallingford family from Pastor Lubin
Fall 2024
Dear Beloved Church Family:
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and health! As we journey together in faith and service, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible blessings we share as a community and the vital role each of you plays in the work of our church.
In 2 Corinthians 9:7, we are reminded, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” This verse beautifully encapsulates the essence of our giving—a response to the abundant grace we have received. FBC Wallingford thrives on the generosity of its church family, and it is through your faithful contributions that we can continue to spread the love of Christ and serve our community.
As we look ahead to the opportunities for ministry and outreach that await us, I encourage each of you to give freely and joyfully. Your gifts are not just financial contributions; they are expressions of your faith, love, and commitment to the mission of our church. These include tithing, special offerings, volunteering your time, and every act of generosity makes a significant impact.
Furthermore, I want to emphasize the importance of taking your pledge seriously. Each pledge represents a commitment to support the church’s work and mission. It is a promise that allows us to plan effectively for the future and to ensure that we can meet the needs of our congregation and community. Your faithfulness in honoring your pledge not only reflects your dedication but also helps us to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.
As we move forward together, let us embrace the spirit of generosity and gratitude. May we give not out of obligation but out of love and a desire to see God’s work flourish. I invite you to pray about how you can contribute and be open to the ways God may be calling you to give.
Thank you for being a vital part of our FBC Wallingford family. Together, let us continue to make a difference in the lives of others and bring glory to God through our giving.
In Christ's Love,
Senior Pastor
FBC Wallingford
