Crafting Your Giving Message:

• Focus on Gratitude: Thanksgiving is a season of giving thanks. Encourage your congregation to reflect on the blessings in their own lives and invite them to express their gratitude through giving. Whether it’s giving to those in need or supporting the church’s ongoing mission, the act of giving is a powerful way to demonstrate thankfulness.
• Emphasize Abundance: Thanksgiving reminds us of the abundance in our lives, both materially and spiritually. Share how God’s blessings flow not just to us, but through us, as we give back to others. Relate this message to the abundance your congregation has experienced and how they can channel that abundance to bless others.
• Celebrate Community: Thanksgiving is often celebrated with family and friends, which makes it an ideal time to highlight the importance of the church community. Encourage your congregation to come together in generosity, supporting collective goals that strengthen the church and uplift the community. Giving is a way to invest in the shared life of the church.
• Invoke Reflection: Thanksgiving is a time of reflection. Guide your congregation to think deeply about how they can express their gratitude not only in words but in action. Encourage them to consider how their giving impacts the church’s ability to serve others during this season of giving.
