Dear RLC Family,
We’re excited to share with you about this year’s Christmas offering that will be taking place this Sunday, December 10th.
We have been blown away by the generosity of the people of River of Life Church! The past 5 years, we have given over $130,000 in our Christmas offerings to be used for specific projects in our church, our community, and around the world. Generosity is a big part of being a follower of Jesus, and we’re amazed that so many have made God and his people a priority in their giving.
What will we do with the money received? This year, the Christmas offering will be used to position our church family to make a greater impact in 2024. It will be used for things like: Expanding the ministry done at RLC, moving forward with the BBE and St. Joseph church locations, allowing us to create margin in our budget, and helping us reach our goals to support Christ-centered projects and organizations that are building the kingdom of God.
With this Christmas offering, we have the opportunity to deepen our impact in this community, enlarge our ministry to our regular attenders, and engage those without a church in our country and world. If you believe in our church family, we want to ask you to begin praying now about what God would have you give to this Christmas offering over and above your regular giving. (Wondering what “over and above” giving is? See "To Answer Your Questions" section below for more information.) Allow God to stretch your faith!
Thank you for your love for Christ and willingness to invest in the Kingdom of God!
