AMERICA FOR CHRIST OFFERING 2012
The 2012 AMERICA FOR CHRIST OFFERING begins today and will run through the month of February. This year’s theme: “Engaging discipleship”, according to Mark 10:46-52, means that we should open our eyes, our hearts and our hands to be more Christ-like.
As James 2:14-17 reminds us, we cannot walk by and hope someone else will do the engaging. We can ‘catch’ the spirit of generosity ourselves by aligning ourselves with generous people and taking time to offer companionship and a listening ear to others.
Donations received will be shared equally among the following:
Two NYS summer youth camps, the Kodiak Missions in Alaska and Brook Haven House in Carthage.
