What is Extending Hope?
Extending Hope is an opportunity for us as a church to practice living generously through giving beyond our normal offering to bless certain individuals and organizations that are doing important Kingdom work in our city. Our campaign this year will begin on the first Sunday of Advent, Dec 1, and run through the end of the year. Every penny raised through Extending Hope is given away to support the work of these organizations.
Where will our giving go for Extending Hope 2019?
This year we will be supporting the individuals and organizations listed below:
