Christ's Birthday Observance Offering

1 John 3:16-17 says, “We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?” (NRSV). This Christmas season may we be challenged to consider God’s gift of love and our imperative to reciprocate this love because of His love.

During the season of Advent, the Church of God around the globe joins together to meditate on Scripture and testimonies, to pray for the ministries of the church locally and around the world, and to give generously to Christ’s Birthday Observance Offering, which supports worldwide frontline ministries. Join other believers around the globe as we share the joyous story of Christ’s birth! We will have special devotional booklets available in late November/early December with daily devotions for families to share together leading up to Christmas.

Christ Birthday Offering is an opportunity for our congregation to celebrate the birth of Jesus and make a global impact for good in the world. This special offering helps support missions work in our local community, state, country, and around the world including projects such as the Depue Family, Missionaries to Hungary and Sound Mind & Sparrows Nest – sober living recovery homes in our local community.

During the entire month of December, you can join your church family and give to this special offering by writing Christ Birthday Offering on the memo line of your check or offering envelope and dropping it in the giving box at the back of the auditorium, or you can select the Christ Birthday Offering option when giving through the Cross Point app. Thank you for helping us celebrate Jesus’ birthday and make a difference in our local community, state, country, and around the world!
