We Love Our Firefighters

Throughout the month of September, we will be doing things to encourage our firefighters throughout the city and surrounding area. Each Community Group will be assigned a different fire station, and we will encourage the group to collect snacks for the first few weeks of September. Then, towards the end of the month, your group can deliver the snacks to the station along with some encouragement cards.

On December 22 we will be taking up the annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. 100% of the money raised will go to fund our missionaries on the field. Please be praying about what you and your family can give. What is the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering? Lottie Moon was sent as a Southern Baptist missionary to China from 1873 to 1912. She saw firsthand the world’s greatest problem — LOSTNESS. Meeting so many people who had never heard the gospel compelled her to write letters to American churches describing the need for a greater missionary presence. She pleaded for increased prayer and financial support to send and sustain more missionaries. This challenge became known as the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®.

On December 14th, 6pm-8pm, our church will be hosting the Holiday Express at Creekmore Park. This is an event that brings out hundreds of people to ride the Christmas train and see all of the beautiful lights. We will be out there passing out free hot chocolate and candy canes, plus giving all of the budding superstars a chance at Christmas karaoke! This is a LOT of fun, and we want to invite everyone to come out and enjoy this wonderful evening. We are also looking for volunteers to help.
