  • For 2025 we will have a special mission offering. The 2nd Sunday of each month we will highlight one of our mission areas and ask everyone to give an extra $5 to be used in support of that specific need.
    On the day of collection we will share information about the mission area, a practical need we hope to meet with our gift, and one specific area of service with which we can help. The following month we will celebrate how the money was utilized and the service we provided; then we will introduce the mission emphasis for that month.
    Special offering envelopes will be available for your $5 donation, as well as a digital link.
