GIVE

Snippet
You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

There's another day you might want to know about: Giving 

Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday 

after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-

buying and donate what they can to charity. Bill Gates

Scripture
“In every way I've shown you that by laboring like “this, it is necessary to 

help the weak and to keep in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, for He said, 

‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35 HCSB

Song
Give This Christmas Away Matthew West

What if I told you?
You have the power
To give someone hope
Far beyond their wildest dreams

What if I told you it’s right there in your hands?
In your hands

It's hard to imagine
How something so small
Can make all the difference
Tear down the tallest wall

What if December looked different this year?
What if we all just

Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gift you receive
When you give this Christmas away

It’s feeding the hungry
It’s serving the poor
It’s telling the orphan
You’re not forgotten anymore

It’s doing what love does
Even when no one’s watching you

Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gift you receive
When you give this Christmas away

For God so loved the world, He gave His only son
So we could be His hands, His feet, His love
His love

What if I told you?
You have the power
To give someone hope
Far beyond their wildest dreams

What if December looked different this year?
What if we all just

Give this Christmas away
If there’s love in your heart
Don’t let it stay there
Give this Christmas away
And your life will be changed
By the gift you receive
When you give this Christmas away
Give this Christmas away
You have the power
Just give it away
Give it away, give it away
Give it away, give it away
(Give it away)
(Give Christmas away)
Give it away

Sentence Prayer
Gracious God,
You have given us much today;
Grant us also a thankful spirit.
Into your hands we commend ourselves
And those we love.
Be with us still and when we take our rest
Renew us for the service of your son Jesus Christ.

Amen
