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?
We have received $510 toward our 2019 church goal of $3,500. Special Lottie Moon offering envelopes are available in the pew racks or you can give online HERE (choose the Lottie Moon option). Track our progress on the bulletin board in the central hallway! We will receive the offering through Sunday, December 29.

Philippines Offering Goal MET!
Last Sunday, Jeremy French shared on behalf of our missions team about needs of our partner church, Market View Community Church in Lucena City, Philippines. A super typhoon swept through the area last week, leaving flooding and wind damage in its wake. Jeremy asked our church to consider giving a special offering to help repair/rebuild, as well as to purchase 10 sets of tables and chairs (around $20 USD each) for the Market View children to use during worship services and events at the church.
Thanks to your generous giving, we received $630, surpassing our goal of $500. To God be the glory! We will pass along the funds and provide updates from Carmen and Market View as we receive them. Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in the Philippines as they recover from the typhoon.
