2019 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
Your giving (above and beyond your tithe) to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions enables Southern Baptist missionaries to be sent to make disciples and multiply churches among unreached peoples and places for the glory of God. What will YOU give so that others can go?
Our 2019 church goal is $3,500. Special offering envelopes will be available in the pew racks beginning this Sunday. We will receive the offering through Sunday, December 29.

Christmas Dinner & Annual Business Meeting
Our annual church-wide Christmas dinner will be held on Sunday, December 8 at 6:00 p.m. The church will provide the meat and drinks. Plan to bring at least one dish per adult/teenage member of your family. No nuts due to food allergies, please. Following the meal, we'll move the worship center for our annual business meeting to vote on the 2020 budget as well as new officers and committees.
Copies of the proposed 2020 budget are available at the Information Desk. If you have any questions about the budget, talk with Terry Bruton (church treasurer) or Josh Erisman.
