Final chance: End of Year Electronic Giving
We can't pass our offering basket this Christmas season during online worship, so we encourage you to automate your end of year giving.
Online giving reduces staff and volunteer processing time. Electronic giving also offers an easy way to give on a recurring basis.
THANK YOU to everyone that has signed up!
