THE GIFT
|
 THE GIFT is an opportunity to give back to God during the celebration of Advent and Christmas. Our Fellowship family has developed a culture of generosity, believing that through the leadership of the Holy Spirit, our resources can be used to make a difference locally, regionally, and globally. Last year the people of Fellowship gave $600,000 to fund everything from Fellowship Fayetteville to a ministry for young girls affected by human trafficking in India to the purchase of a truck and fuel for global workers in Africa.
Throughout December, we will provide envelopes in the communicator for you to consider a cash donation to THE GIFT. There will also be a link online on the giving tab of your
myFellowship account for THE GIFT. All funds donated are prayerfully dispersed at the discretion of the Elders.
In giving sacrificially to THE GIFT, we take huge steps forward in accomplishing Fellowship's vision and mission which we firmly believe God has set before us. Thank you for your participation in the past and the difference you have made in the lives of so many. Let's keep up the great work. Thank you Fellowship!
