Here are our totals for 2025
SUNDAY WORSHIP
Dec 14 @ 10:00a
This Sunday we continue the Advent season as we look at the Gifts of Christmas. Advent is a season to experience the joy of the coming of the Savior of the world. It’s more than just a feeling; it is a joy that causes all of creation to celebrate. In Advent, we are preparing and expecting. Jesus is coming! Let us rejoice! This Sunday we will unwrap the Gift of Joy!
LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING
During the month of December
During this time of the year, we focus our attention on our International Missionaries. Each Sunday in the month of December, we will have a video focusing on some of our missionaries. We will also collect a love offering for our International Missionaries. Prayerfully consider how much God will have to give.
