Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. [1 Timothy 6:18 NLT]
As we move into the Holy-Days, we want worship our Lord and give Him the gift of our joyous service to people in need. At Restoration, we value coming together as friends to serve locally, regionally, and globally. Please join us this season as we Share the love of Jesus in the following ways:
Locally, we are sponsoring 5 families in need from our adopted school, Old Town Elementary. The school counselor has worked with the parents to know the children’s wants and wishes. Look for the red tags on our Share It Tree. Select one or more of the tags, purchase the items and return them to the church, with the tag attached by December 14th.
Regionally, we are partnering with our sister church, Misionera in La Villa, TX as they minister in the community of San Francisco de Berlanga, Mexico. The people of this area are in need of basic necessities, and we will also provide some fun toys for the kids. Look for the green tags on our Share It Tree. Select one or more of the tags, purchase the items and return them to the church, with the tag attached by December 14th.
Globally, the Evangelical Covenant Church has mission sites in more than 38 countries around the world. If you desire to partner with others in making a difference in the lives of people in places overseas, then choose one of the blue tags. We can help provide life-changing resources, such as animals, medication, school fees, and farming tools for people in need. Write a check for the amount listed on the tag and attach it to the tag and place in the offering bowl during service by December 14th.
