FAMILY MINISTRY MISSION

SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERING FOCUS FOR NOVEMBER
WHY ARE YOU ASKING US TO BRING AN OFFERING TO SUNDAY SCHOOL?
Each month Family Ministry Sunday School has a different offering focus. Our prayer is to help students learn about being good stewards of God’s gifts. You can help your child by having them tithe out of their allowance, birthday money, and by having them do chores for you to earn money. Older students can chose a percentage of money they earn from their job and begin the habit of regular giving. Even 3% of what they earn can make a difference in God’s kingdom. Thank you for partnering with us as we endeavor to raise Christ-centered kids.
THANKS SO MUCH TO THOSE OF YOU WHO BROUGHT SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND MADE DONATIONS IN OCTOBER. WE ARE MAILING 2 BIG BOXES OF SUPPLIES TO HOPE FOR KIDS INTERNATIONAL ON NOVEMBER 1ST.
OUR GOAL IS TO SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH 120 CHILDREN.
TO DO THIS, ALL OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL OFFERINGS IN NOVEMBER WILL BE SENT TO SAMARITANS PURSE.
THE AMOUNT WE ARE PRAYING TO BE ABLE TO SEND IS: $720.00
Each year, millions of boys and girls around the world are introduced to the eternal hope of the Gospel through Operation Christmas child. But that’s just the beginning.
Samaritans Purse has developed an exciting, 12-lesson bible study for children who receive shoebox gifts called The Greatest Journey. The colorfully illustrated lessons, written in the child’s own language, are presented by trained local teachers who help boys and girls learn what it means to follow Christ and share their faith with others! Each child that graduates also receives a New Testament of their very own.
Jesus challenged His disciples to reach the nations with the Gospel. Through The Greatest Journey, lives are being changed for eternity and new churches are springing up in communities across the globe. Will you help make disciples of all nations?
You can also sign up for a monthly gift of just $6, and in one year you will give 12 precious children the opportunity to participate in The Greatest Journey. Learn more about this exciting program at samaritanspurse.org/occ
