Each year at Christmas we collect the
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
Every penny given to this offering (named for Lottie
Moon, a missionary to China) will be used to support mis-
sionaries around the world. Most of us cannot go to the
foreign mission field, but we can give so others can go.
Our goal this year is $10,000.
(This offering will be collected through the end of
January 2017.)
