Christmas Joy Offering is on December 20

Share in the Joy of a Promise:

“For God who has promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23)

 

During Advent, we remember God’s promises to us, as we gather together to wait in hope for the birth of Jesus Christ! We, in the Presbyterian Church, join this celebration of God’s faithfulness by supporting those in need of help and hope.

 

If you forgot to return the “Joy Boxes” today you can bring them on the 20^th or to the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on Thursday December 24^th!

 

Christmas Joy Offering envelopes will be provided for your use on Sunday, Dec. 20^th. These gifts of generosity bear witness to our faithful response to love one another, as Christ commanded.
