Our Mission Offering for the month of January will go to the American Baptist Churches USA Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering. The Retired Ministers and Missionaries Offering is collected to fund and distribute thank you checks to retired ministers and missionaries and their surviving spouses. In 2022 over one million dollars was raised to distribute over 3,000 checks, 43% of which was for emergency assistance. This yearly offering allows us to give a tangible expression of gratitude for their service. All are invited to a Mission Moment session, presenting more information about the offering, in the parlor after worship this morning.
