Our Christmas Eve Special Offering has now come to a close, and we give thanks to God for the generosity of this congregation.
Because of your faithful giving, $112,000 was raised. With the full $100,000 dollar-for-dollar match from a church member, this offering now totals $212,000.
These gifts will carry Christ’s light beyond our sanctuary—supporting children and families in the Texas Hill Country, East Austin, and Pátzcuaro, Mexico. What began as a story we tell each Christmas—the story of light breaking into darkness—has become a lived reality through your generosity.
We praise God for this incredible blessing and for the way this church continues to show up with hope, courage, and love for the world God so dearly loves.
Thank you for being part of this holy work.
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.
