Mission Tithes Offering Envelopes for Children
Mission Tithes are given to the church in response to the call: “Many are
waiting to hear the gospel, or to be lifted up from hopelessness by the hands of
loving servants. But they will be lost without the generous response of
disciples who share their own money so that others may know the joys of the
kingdom” (Doctrine and Covenants 162:7a adapted).
Contributions to Local and World Mission Tithes provide the money for
outreaching ministries in our own congregation, mission center, and around the
world. Disciples generally give Mission Tithes during worship services by using
offering envelopes. Special children’s envelopes are available from your
Congregational Financial Officer (CFO).
Notice the two sides of the envelope: My Church at Home and
My Church in the World. Whether children share their money for their
own congregation or the church in the world, money given through these envelopes
is called Mission Tithes.
