" ... go to the place that the LORD your God chooses and spend [an annual tithe] for whatever you desire ... And you shall eat there before the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household." (see DEUT. 14:22-26)
The spirit of the Celebration Tithe continues in God's command that we practice hospitality toward one another. Hospitality, and especially the sharing of meals, is an offering of worship toward God that we lovingly enjoy with one another.
On this basis, we encourage all our members to set aside a generous percentage of their income each year for use in celebration. Bring ample quantities of quality food for our Shared Meal each week. Celebrate worthwhile holidays with family and friends. Enjoy the good things God has provided within this reasonable annual budget, in good times and bad.
This is a tithe that you keep for investing in Celebration, in the quality of our Shared Meals, and in the hospitality of your Household Embassy. Think of it as a Splurge Tithe for your family.
