THANKSGIVING WORSHIP & CHALLENGE
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26th @ 6:30pm
We are excited to continue our Thanksgiving tradition of gathering for worship and thanking God for His generosity towards us. Our celebration includes pie after worship and most importantly the tradition of giving away 100% of our offering!
This year, we have the opportunity to once again be a part of what God is doing in Madagascar as we will give 100% to the House of Hope. This offering will directly help kick off the next phase of the project which is to build a school! Click the button below for more recipient and challenge info.
"You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God." 2 Cor. 9:11
*This service will be live streamed and childcare will be available
