Our church partners with the Southern Baptist Convention each year to support the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Through the month of March, we will be accepting offerings which will go towards North America missions (formerly home missions.) Here is a little bit of information about this offering.
Every year we honor the life and work of Annie Walker Armstrong (1850-1938) when we give to the annual Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American missions. As a tireless servant of God and a contagious advocate and supporter of missions efforts throughout the world, Annie rallied churches to give more, pray more and do more for reaching people for Christ.
