We encourage our church members to give a missions offering every Sunday, year-round, and this is the time of year we especially emphasize giving to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for the International Mission Board. Below is a 4-minute video that we hope will help you understand why we are so passionately committed to this cause. To God be the glory!
