During good times and difficult times, our church has always responded with generosity. Thank you for being a church that reshapes the community and rebuilds lives by financially supporting our community in times of need. Today, we are inviting you to respond generously as we support those impacted by COVID-19. Giving Tuesday is normally during the Christmas holiday season, but Giving Tuesday Now was created to answer the call of the enormous need caused by COVID-19. Please prayerfully consider how you can give to support those who are facing unexpected obstacles and financial challenges.
