through the International Mission Board (IMB) and the communities they 

serve. 


Please take the time to pick up a prayer guide. You may find one located on the tables around the church.


This also begins our season of giving for the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Between now and our Christmas Eve Service, please consider your gift to international missions.
