Presence Christmas Offering Update

I want to thank everyone who gave so generously so far to our annual Presence Christmas Offering! It’s amazing to me how we’ve grown in our spiritual maturity over this last year, and it shows up very clearly in our giving. There was such a spirit of excitement and unity when it came time to bring our offerings during the service. We’ll be announcing the totals of our giving on January 5th at the first service of 2014, but I can let you know we’re not at our goal yet. However, I do believe it is very possible.

On top of that, we were once again able to provide a Christmas Party for the children in Agua Zarca! I have attached some of the pics below, and we’ll get to see more at the Rockin’ Christmas services.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 which will allow us to accomplish the following objectives:

• Reaching & growing students with a full-time Student Pastor
• Expansion through additional space and land
• The 2014 Community Assistance Ministries of our church
• Continue our work in Guatemala as we feed the children of Agua Zarca

Ultimately, this will position us to take even bigger steps forward in 2014. If you weren’t able to be with us on Sunday, it’s not too late to join with others and give to this amazing effort. You can visit theconnectionchurch.org/presence to find out more info and give safely, securely, and simply online. I’d love for you to be a part of this project, since so much good will come from it.
