Finance update

Due to the wonderful stewardship and giving by you, our church family, we have almost reached our 2025 Church Budget. As of December 20th, we need just $21,580 to keep the finances of God's house in balance. As we think about gifts this Christmas and remember that Jesus gave each of us the gift of Salvation at infinite cost to Himself, let's make sure our gifts to Him keep the bills at His house paid.
