GREAT COMMISSION DAY OFFERING
“Send Forth Laborers”
“The world is full of empty and unplowed fields – places where seeds of the gospel have yet to be sown or where people have turned their hearts from Jesus. Yet God’s heart of compassion is for these forgotten, neglected fields.
We go and send because God calls, because the fields are ready, because hearts everywhere need to encounter His compassion and love. Together, let’s join with our Lord of the harvest and send forth laborers into His fields.”
We will receive our Great Commission Day offering next Sunday, June 29. Please make any checks out to our church and designate it as “Great Commission Day Offering 2025.”
