Announcements
Mission of the Month: FLW Gift of Love
Advent invites us to reflect on God’s greatest gift — love made flesh in Jesus Christ. In that spirit of giving, we pause to thank you for your generosity throughout the year. You’ve helped shine Christ’s light through worship, compassion, and service.
Most months, the church council chooses ministries outside our doors for our mission of the month. But in December, as we near the year’s end, we invite you to please consider a gift of love to help our congregation finish the year strong. Your support ensures that our ministries of love and grace continue into the new year.
Together, we are the body of Christ, and every offering — every dollar, every prayer, every act of service — strengthens our shared witness. Thank you for being part of a church that embodies God’s hope through our words, our acts of serving and our giving.
