General Fund Contributions


We are so grateful for your gifts. We do want to remind our members and friends as summer approaches, to please remember that many gifts are given to the church for appeals, youth expenses, special gifts, etc.

 

But your gifts to our General Fund - which 'keep our lights on!' - are so very important. Thank you for all the ways you care...including the way your care for this congregation in our day-to-day ministries in this community!

Brandi is currently out of the church office. As we continue to lift her up in prayer, we in the office are trying to cover the duties that she would normally complete. Therefore, the financial information that is normally in the news update is currently unavailable. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. Please continue to lift Brandi up in your thoughts and continue pray for her health journey.

This weekend is Biker Rally weekend on the island. Although the income increase is good for local businesses, please be sure to stay safe with so many visitors to the island. Stay safe and we will see everyone on Sunday!

Upon going through our online directory, the office has noticed that there is information on congregation member's profiles that needs updating. Please log onto Realm and make sure your information is updated! This allows the office to pull information like birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, etc. Please log onto OnRealm.com or click THIS link your browser to login.

Join us for the 175th Anniversary Luncheon, November 16th

Share your Holiday!

November 2nd- December 2nd

Share your Holiday with those in need. Between now and December 2nd, please bring in canned food for our neighbors that are lacking this holiday season. 1 in 6 people in Galveston County struggle with hunger and food insecurity. FLC, Channel 13, and Ball High School are partnering to help stock the shelves on the Galveston food bank. Please bring cans to the Narthex or Church Office. We are also accepting toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, and toiletries. Please consider sharing this holiday season.
