Thanksgiving Offering

This year our Thanksgiving offering will go toward a special Christmas gift for our missionaries. Receiving this offering at Thanksgiving enables us to send the gifts to our missionaries in time for Christmas. These gifts are above and beyond our usual monthly financial support.

Please pray and prepare your offering as the Lord leads.

Special envelopes will be available Sunday morning, you may also mail checks to the church with “Thanksgiving Offering” noted on the memo line.

For giving online, click the button below and choose “Thanksgiving Offering” from the drop-down menu.

Assistive Listening System Available in Sanctuary

We offer an Assistive Listening System in the Sanctuary for those that have mild to moderate hearing loss. These small devices will provide direct audio during the entire worship service and will allow you to adjust the volume to meet your individual needs. You must sit in the main center section of the sanctuary to use the system. The system is not available in the North or South chapels.

If you would like to take advantage of this new system, please stop by the sound booth.
