2013 LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING

Christ tells us to be totally committed — first to love Him, then to love others as much as we love ourselves. We are to give all of our heart, soul and mind to being Christ-like. The ultimate goal: that every man, woman and child on this earth can know His saving grace. Southern Baptist missionaries can’t carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth without our full support. Through our giving, missionaries can concentrate their time and efforts on engaging the unreached with the Gospel. How much will you give to reach the ones who still do not know? Think about what you spend on Christmas gifts for family and friends. Then consider giving your biggest gift to God through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering®. The 2013 goal is $175 million. What role you will play?

Only two more opportunities to give toward our church goal of $2,000!

**************************************************

CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE: Be here Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. for our annual Christmas Eve service. It will be a special time of worship and celebration with music, drama, and candlelight. Be sure to invite friends and family to join you.

2013 LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING FOR INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS

SMALL GIFTS; BIG IMPACT! Helping to reach a $175 million goal can be daunting if you’re struggling to make ends meet. But God smiles upon every gift given from a joyful heart, no matter the amount. Every penny given to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is used to help support nearly 5,000 Southern Baptist missionaries and their ministries as they share the Gospel overseas. Last year, your missionaries reported baptizing 266,451 new believers and starting 24,073 new churches. Thus, your gifts have an eternal impact by helping bring many to Christ.

Only three more opportunities to give toward our church goal of $2,000!
