Please help by contributing prewrapped bags of snacks such as cookies, candy, and/or fruit to fill the baskets and show our appreciation.

December will kick off the Foreign Mission Offering, our Lottie Moon Offering. Our goal is $2,500 and will be collected throughout the month of December 2018. We ask that you consider using the Lottie Moon Post Office to send Christmas Cards to our church members. For a donation of 25 cents a card we will deliver your Christmas greeting to the Sunday School Classroom. All of the donations will go toward the foreign mission offering. The Post Office box will be in the foyer outside the sanctuary.
As we come to the end of 2018, we would like to thank everyone for their generous gifts throughout the year to support the ministries of Centerville Baptist Church. We have accomplished many things this past year, including the complete renovation of our Sanctuary, Listening as One Body Sessions, planting and harvesting in our Community Garden, hosting C.A.S.T. and supporting the Burfoot house, to name a few. None of these would have been accomplished without the time, talent and treasure given by our congregation. Overall, we are about $40,000 behind in our budgeted giving. We would like to close this gap as much as possible to give us a solid financial base heading into 2019. The Stewardship and Finance committee has been working with leaders of the various ministry teams to develop our 2019 budget, we are facing cost increases in a few of areas. Some are associated with the age of our buildings, others with new ministries being enhanced or started in 2019. Thank you for prayerfully considering how you can make a difference in 2018 and set the stage in 2019 with a special year-end gift. In addition to cash or check, donations may be made electronically through your banks Billpay service or through the Ways to Give link on the church s website. Electronic giving is also an easy way to automate your regular tithes and offerings and provides much needed financial consistency for our church. Sincerely, Jeff Dooley Chair
