For 14 years, we’ve given away our Christmas Eve offering to organizations beyond the walls of our church. Christmas is not our birthday; it is Jesus’ birthday. So let’s give him something that he would enjoy!
The first offerings were given solely to the Ruth Meier’s Hospitality House. In recent years, they have also been given to United Way’s Emergency Homeless Shelter and other regional ministries like new church starts and the Baaken Oil Rush Ministry. In 2022, we raised $30,000, split between the United Way’s Homeless Shelter and the Missouri Valley Coalition for Homeless People.
We’ve given away nearly $600,000 over 14 years to organizations beyond our walls.
