Each Christmas Eve, our church family gives a special offering dedicated entirely to a selected mission partner. This gift is our way of making a meaningful, focused impact—supporting their work and extending care to the people they faithfully serve.
At Christmas, we tell a story about a Child— born into darkness, bringing light and hope for us all. Every year, our church carries that same light forward— bringing safety, belonging, and a future to children and families in need. This Christmas, we carry that light from this sanctuary into the world. Your gifts will bring hope for children— in the Texas Hill Country, in East Austin, and in Pátzcuaro, Mexico.
We are grateful that a church member has offered a dollar-for-dollar match for this year’s special offering, up to $100,000—doubling the impact of every gift.
Beginning December 1
There will be a Christmas tree outside of the Library with tags indicating home good items to gift. This a great opportunity to make a difference furnishing the home of a newly housed family.
Drop off items in the Blue Bin located in the 200 Wing.
