This Christmas, everyone is invited to live out James 2:15-16. Let’s love, serve, and meet the needs of our neighbors in the Name of Jesus.
A SEASON OF GIVING​
​
James 2:15 - 16 says, "Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?"
​
Christmas from Mt. Airy will be about loving and meeting the physical needs of our neighbors. There is suffering all around us. This Christmas, you and your family will have multiple opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
​
Choose from the four projects below to learn more about how you can get involved. If possible, invite friends or neighbors to join you. We pray that you will allow God to use you mightily as you serve and go!

LOTTIE MOON
CHRISTMAS OFFERING
About the Project
In 1873, Lottie Moon was appointed as a missionary to China. She spent nearly 40 years sharing the gospel with love, courage, and unwavering faith.
Her letters home inspired churches to pray and give, leading to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions. Today, this offering supports missionaries and helps take the life-transforming message of Jesus to the nations.
​How Can I Help?
​
Sending missionaries to the nations is a privilege and in obedience to our Savior’s command. Our goal this year is $80,000, and our focus date for receiving funds is December 21. We should be able to easily meet this goal if each person prayerfully gives. Please ask God what He would have you do. Your gift can impact the world for Christ!
You can give by designating your check “Lottie Moon Offering,” or you can give online at the link below.

On Saturday, December 13, at 9:00am, we will meet in Building A to pick up the baskets for delivery. You can set your own time to deliver the baskets you pick up any time that weekend.
