Scripture Readings

I CORINTHIANS 14:40
But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.

II CORINTHIANS 9:6-8
Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.

GALATIANS 6:10
So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

SCRIPTURE TEXT—I CORINTHIANS 16:1-4
Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come. When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem; and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.
