Christmas Offering
Advent is the time when we acknowledge with the world that darkness is a reality but we set ourselves apart from the world by proclaiming that our God is light and love that overcomes darkness. His essence is light so that all may be seen, warmed, and nourished. One way that generations of Christians have revealed God’s love and reflected his light is through the giving of financial gifts to celebrate the birth of the Christ child. That’s why our congregation takes a special Christmas offering.
Once again this year, our giving will benefit two wonderful ministries. Anchorage Children’s Home provides services for abused, neglected, and at-risk children here in Bay County. Embrace Florida Kids (formerly the Methodist Children’s Home) provides foster and adoptive services, along with family support throughout the Panhandle. Please consider making a generous donation that will be matched (up to $20,000) with budget funds. We will split the total amount received with the goal of giving at least $20,000 to each agency.
4 ways to give:
- In person via cash or check (make sure to add a memo on your envelope or check: “Christmas Offering”)
- Online at lhm.online/give
- Text a dollar amount and the word, Christmas, to 850-279-5868 (for example, $20 Christmas)
- Mail your donation to: Lynn Haven Methodist, 3203 Minnesota Ave, Panama City, FL 32405
