This weekend!
One way our church family celebrates this holy season is through our special Heart of Christmas offering. The Heart of Christmas offering is divided between five important ministries that impact lives all year long— ACTION, IMPACT, Front Porch Ministries, New Church Development, and The Christmas Joy Offering. You’ll find a special Heart of Christmas offering envelope in your program this weekend or you can donate online through our website.
The Angel Tree provides an opportunity to assist people in our congregation who are in need this holiday season. Each ornament contains an idea for a gift certificate. Choose an ornament, purchase the gift certificate, and return it by Monday, December 17 to the office or to a Deacon on the patio. Thank you for your generous spirit during this Holiday Season.
