Local Church Budget
Smells can bring a flood of memories to your brain. A special family recipe can spark a whole host of thoughts and emotions as it passes through your home if someone is making a meal. There are recipes that my mother and my grandmother have made, that still brings me joy when we get together and they are cooked for the family.
One thing I am still mastering is the art of making good bread. I love the smell of fresh-baked, homemade bread, and it is always something that I look forward to making. What has brought even more joy is involving my children in the baking process, when it is possible.
Baking and cooking are skills that can be taught and learned. Similarly, our church has a rich heritage of passing along the lessons we know in order to build up the next generation. The Bible encourages teaching and sharing what we know! “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others” (2 Timothy 2:2, NIV). Ministries such as Sabbath School classes help us connect and better know the “recipe” for a better life in Christ, and how to practically live out our Christianity outside of these church walls. Today’s offering is for our local church budget, which supports ministries such as Sabbath school.

Los aromas pueden traer una cantidad de recuerdos a la mente. Una receta familiar puede provocar una cadena de pensamientos y emociones. Hay recetas que mi madre y mi abuela hacían que todavía me alegran cuando nos reunimos y las disfrutamos en familia.
Una habilidad que domino bien es el arte de hacer buen pan. Me encanta el olor del pan casero recién horneado, y siempre siento gozo al prepararlo. Lo que me ha dado más alegría es involucrar a mis hijos en el proceso de horneado.
Hornear y cocinar son habilidades que se pueden aprender y enseñar. De forma similar, nuestra iglesia tiene una rica herencia para transmitir a la siguiente generación. La Biblia nos anima a enseñar y a compartir lo que sabemos. “Lo que me has oído decir en presencia de muchos testigos, encomiéndalo a creyentes dignos de confianza, que a su vez estén capacitados para enseñar a otros” (2 Timoteo 2:2, NVI). Los ministerios como la Escuela Sabática nos ayudan a conectarnos y conocer la “receta” para una vida mejor en Cristo, y cómo vivir nuestro cristianismo en forma práctica, fuera de la iglesia. Las ofrendas de hoy contribuyen con nuestra iglesia local, que apoya a ministerios como la Escuela Sabática.
