Christmas Eve Offering


As our tradition, our Christmas Eve offering will go to United Methodist Family Services. UMFS is an unwavering champion for high-risk children and families in Virginia. UMFS serves children in foster care and children struggling with mental health and behavioral challenges. They provide foster care and adoption programs, specialized education schools, and mental health programs. Your support of UMFS through this offering will help high-risk children achieve a brighter future. Thank you for supporting this transformative ministry.

We will once again send Christmas greetings to our military veterans at McGuire Hospital this year. There will be a box located at the entrance to the Sanctuary for your cards. Deadline to contribute cards is December 17. Please address the envelopes with: To a Veteran, To a Hero, To a Brave Person, etc. Inside the card, please thank them for their service to our country, their devotion to freedom, their sacrifice, admiration for their service, etc. Please sign your card.  Thank you for taking the time to acknowledge these women and men after all they have done in service to our country.

You may notice that your envelope number has changed. We are ordering fewer boxes, so if you had a higher number - you have reassigned a smaller number!


If you do not use offering envelopes, no worries! You can continue to give online or send a check without an "official" offering envelope. But, please do not put an envelope number on the check, unless you are using an offering envelope.
