Our Christmas Offering this year will go to support 2 important ministries:

(1) Up to $4,000 will go to cover expenses of the Hypothermia Center that will take place at Pender January 3-10, 2015.

(2) The remainder will go to Holyland 4 Jesus – An outreach in Israel among Muslim people that establishes churches of new disciples of Christ. Outreach is done through music and the gifts of milk and rice to individual families.  The gospel is shared with each gift.
