MEDICAL BENEVOLENCE FOUNDATION (Alternative Giving) -

Are you searching for just the right gift for a special father? This year you can give an Alternative Gift that will honor dads, and bring comfort and care to someone overseas. MBF has the perfect shopping solution. With an “alternative gift” you can send a medical miracle to someone overseas in the name of a special dad. These gifts come in the form of vaccinations, cataract surgery, cervical cancer screening, training for a health care worker or support of an orphan care center. Your gift in honor of a loved one is sustainable, long-lasting and will provide urgently needed medical care for the poor in overseas hospitals and clinics. Your gifts can support community health programs, food for orphans, equipment to mission hospitals and clinics, providing health care for the needy, or be used where most needed in the MBF ministries. Check the information table in the narthex for more information!

Bikes for Jesus' Birthday

Don't delay.....Have you thought about helping with the Bikes for Jesus' Birthday program? Bikes for Jesus' Birthday is a program in which members of the congregation make donations toward the purchase of a bike, Bible and helmet or donate the full amount of $65 for all three. These bikes are donated to area children who are in need and otherwise would not receive a Christmas gift. The church has been involved in this ministry for a number of years and has seen the joy these children experience. If you would like to make a donation, please contact the church office or you may drop your donation in the Sunday offering plate.
