The Missions and Concerns Committee is providing an Alternative Christmas Giving opportunity again this year. By donating to these organizations, you can give an “alternative” Christmas gift to someone or you may just give because you want to support that effort. Your gifts will support some great causes that are a part of the mission of our church.
