3 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions Every church. Every nation. Our Goal: $11,000 For over 172 years, Southern Baptist churches have sent missionaries to the unreached across the globe. Together we financially support more than 4,000 Southern Baptist missionaries that share the gospel all over the world. This year, our church has set a goal of $11,000. Our collective giving enables missionaries to be sent to make disciples and multiply churches among unreached peoples and places for the glory of God. Through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, our church is playing a vital role in taking the gospel to every nation. CBC Family News Bert Welch writes: Thank you for the memorial gift to the church in my mother s name. She loved the Lord and His church and was a devoted Christian involved in ministry for decades. Thanks for being such a loving and supportive church family for the Welches. God bless you all! Christmas Eve Candlelight Service 5:00 P.M.
