Our Special Guest will be Pastor David Ford.
Stewardship is: “faithfully developing and using the gifts, talents, and resources that God has given you.”
Giving our tithes and offerings is a part of stewardship and our worship. Here are several ways to give here at PRBC. Worship Services – During Sunday morning worship service (and weekday classes) we have a time of dedicating our tithes and offerings to God in prayer. Text-to-Give – It’s also possible to give directly from you cell phone. Text the word “Love”, then a space, and the amount you want to give to (888) 827-1121. (ex: Love 55) Electronic Giving – you can give with a debit/credit card in the foyer before and after service in the Kiosk Room, or online at PRBCLansing.org. Gifts in Kind or With Your Time– If you have something you want to donate as a gift, please contact the church to discuss ahead of time either by email at [email protected] or by phone at 517-882-8012. Ministry information can be found on our website. May God be glorified in all we do.
