Year End Offering
WHAT ARE YOU BELIEVING GOD FOR IN 2024?
Each year, we come together to stretch our faith by giving above and beyond in support of all we’re believing God for in this next season. You can give online today or give in person on December 10th during offering Sunday.
WHAT’S YOUR WORD?
As the year comes to a close we get the opportunity to look back on all of the ways that God has been faithful and look ahead to all that we’re believing God for in the coming year. We encourage you to choose a word that represents what God might have for you in the year ahead.
Throughout the new year you can keep that word in mind, praying over it and using it as a reminder of God’s faithfulness in your life.
Not sure how to choose your word? Here are some tips to help you get started:
WHAT AREA OF YOUR LIFE HAVE YOU BEEN PRAYING FOR A BREAKTHROUGH IN?
HOW HAS GOD BEEN GROWING OR CHALLENGING YOU THIS YEAR?
WHATʼS ONE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN YOUR LIFE, WORK,RELATIONSHIPS, ETC.?
Some people even choose the name of someone they’re praying for. Your word is unique to you, so we encourage you to pray over what yours will be.
