“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things,

hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

‘“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My

house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open

for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That

there will not be room enough to receive it.”’ Malachi 3:10

How do you practice tithing? Some of us tithe as a part of our worship on Sundays as we prayerfully place an envelope with our cash or check in the offering plate. Others prefer to mail checks to the church office. Now there is a new option for you – online giving! Just click on the online giving button on the far right of our website, grovelevel.org. There you can contribute with a direct bank transfer or a debit card. You can also set up a recurring contribution, if this is more convenient for you. For additional information about our online giving, please see “Contribution FAQs” at that same link.
