What a joy it is to see God at work in our church family! As we reflect on our recent Thanksgiving service, we're encouraged to share that our Thanksgiving Offertory reached around $70,000. We are profoundly thankful to God for His provision, and to you for your incredible generosity. This milestone is about so much more than a financial target; it is a beautiful reflection of our church offering our whole selves to God - a joyful, worshipful response to a Father whose love endures forever.
Every Thanksgiving gift directly fuels our vision for the season ahead by preparing our future building spaces and resourcing us to follow God's missional lead. Crucially, these funds will allow us to bring on a new youth worker to invest in the next generation. We also rejoice that 10% of everything raised will be given away to support missions, multiplying our local gratitude into global impact!
If you have not yet had the opportunity to participate in the Thanksgiving Offertory, we warmly invite you to consider adding your gift. Whether large or small, your contribution is a vital partnership in this vision. We simply ask that you pray about how God might be leading you to respond, remembering that Scripture tells us God loves a cheerful giver.
