Offering Schedule for November 2019
Nov. 3rd A.M. – World Renew – World Hunger Sunday: Families living in poverty face many barriers.

Through your congregation’s participation in World Hunger Sunday those facing hunger and poverty are encouraged to learn ways to improve their lives and write a new story that is filled with hope and promise. World Renew invites you to join us in changing the story. During the autumn World Hunger Campaign, culminating on World Hunger Sunday, please give generously of your time, prayers, talents, and financial gifts to bless others. World Renew will use your gifts to combat poverty, disaster, and injustice around the world in Jesus’ name.
