2. How can we use our material resources to support the congregation?
We can “honor Jehovah with [our] valuable things.” (Proverbs 3:9) We count it a privilege to contribute money and other resources to support the local congregation and the worldwide preaching work. (Read 2 Corinthians 9:7.) Our donations also support disaster relief. Many choose to “set something aside” regularly as a donation. (Read 1 Corinthians 16:2.) We can donate using contribution boxes at our places of worship or online at donate.jw.org. Jehovah gives us the opportunity to show our love for him by the way we choose to use our material things.

In Bible times, worshippers of Jehovah zealously worked to maintain their places of worship. But this involved more than just contributing money. Read 2 Chronicles 34:9-11, and then discuss this question:
