“A Season of Giving” As we celebrate the gift of Christ this year and respond in gratitude toward a generous God, we embark on a “Season of Giving” campaign which has 2 goals in view:

• Replenish the building fund that was recently depleted due to the costs of fixing numerous plumbing leaks throughout the building

• Give money to the Kibo Group’s Water Source Project: a project providing and repairing wells in East Africa

Our goal is $50,000, which will be split 50/50 between the 2 projects. So far, your incredible generosity has helped us raise $47,132.81. 100% of every dollar given over our $50,000 goal will go to the Kibo Group’s Water Source Project. Thank you so much!
