homosexuality, join Richard for this thought-provoking presentation.

KINGDOM INVESTMENT
Financial resources are a blessing, a
result of God’s provision and a tool to be
used to worship God. Followers of Christ
acknowledge that material possessions
belong to God and the return of money
to the local church is an investment in the
kingdom.
What should I know about Kingdom
Investing?
It is a privilege to participate in the work of
the local church by contributing cheerfully,
sacrificially and generously (emphasis on II
Corinthians 8 and 9). Through prayer, seek
a clear conscience in regard to investing in
the work God has given CCC to accomplish.
If you are visiting or you are not yet a
follower of Christ, make today’s priority to
focus on the larger issue. Your heart need
and the relationship God offers through
Jesus is primary. Contact Tim Perry if you
have questions about your faith journey /
timp@cccomaha.org.
How do I participate?
Place checks or cash:
• in the offering baskets during the
morning worship services at the Old
Mill Campus
• in the Joy Boxes at the Sarpy campus
• in the secure giving box on the wall
near the office entrance at the Old
Mill Campus
