Harvest Offering 2025
Now, More Than Ever,
The Harvest Must Be Reaped!
Grace Family,
Our 2025 Harvest Offering is this coming Sunday, September 28! As we prepare our hearts to bring our offerings, I want to encourage you that now, more than ever, the harvest must be reaped!
The world around us is desperately searching for peace in all the wrong places, only to find empty answers and frustration leading to violence and hatred. In light of all of this chaos, we have a tremendous window of opportunity to share the only true answer for peace, hope, forgiveness and a secure eternity. And that is by spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Harvest offering will support the seven ministries listed below that are doing the work of spreading the Gospel to a lost and hurting world. You can find more information about these ministries on our website, and on our church lobby Missions Board.
My prayer is that each of us will value the lives of the people these ministries are impacting by giving our very best this coming Sunday. I recognize that we may be living in uncertain financial times. But we cannot draw back in our commitment, regardless of circumstances, to share God's message of Grace with the world!
I'd like to encourage you to spend time in prayer considering "What is a life worth in light of eternity?" "Is it worth what we'd spend on a vacation or luxurious gift for friend or family?" "Is it worth sacrificing some of those things, to change someone for eternity?" After prayerfully considering these questions, I ask you to simply give what the Lord lays upon your heart to give.
Thank you for doing your part, no more, no less! The finances you sow will impact lives eternally! And now, more than ever, the message of the Gospel must be preached!
