ANNIE ARMSTRONG EASTER OFFERING
Through Easter Sunday, we are collecting for the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions. This offering supplies at least 50% of the North American Mission Board’s annual budget and every penny goes directly to missionaries serving on the field in the United States and Canada. There are prayer guides available in the vestibule and specially marked offering envelopes are in the pews and offering boxes. Please pray and give as the Lord leads you. Our church goal for this year is $9,500.00.
