God has always invited us into something much bigger than ourselves.
On Sunday 27 April this year we held the first of two Gift Days at Life Church and celebrated our Cultures Sunday too.
We’ve asking everyone to take some time to pray, reflect, and ask God what He might have us give financially as we continue to follow Jesus on His adventure.
Si Munsie spoke from Acts 1:8 in view of what it looks like to invest in the Kingdom of God: Here, There and, Everywhere.
Here – to invest in the leadership and growth of our children and youth teams as we continue to see more young people connect with Jesus.
There – to support church planting and connections in Italy and beyond as part of our vision to be a resource within Commission.
Everywhere – because we believe God is raising people of all ages from Life Church who will carry His love into schools, workplaces, families, and even across nations.

The early church gave from a place of joy and love not compulsion or pressure and that’s our heart too. We’re not asking for what you don’t have—we’re inviting you to ask God what He might want to do through what you do have.
Whether you give a little or a lot, the invitation is the same: to partner with God in what He’s already doing—here, there, and everywhere.
Please take some time with God and ask: “Jesus, what would you have me give?” and then join with us on Sunday, ready to respond to God’s generosity to us with generous hearts back toward him!
Following the two Gift Days it is our intention to give 10% of the total amount directly to Commission, the global family of churches that we are part of, to contribute to the work we are further involved with ‘Everywhere’.
