Last year, the building we stood in was still a job site. Tonight, it’s a room full of life, worship, and testimonies of God’s grace in action. What a clear reminder that when God’s people give, ministry moves forward.
At Thanks & Giving, we laid out the next stretch of the mission Christ handed His church—make disciples, reach our community, and strengthen the body for the work ahead. And one of the most urgent needs right now is expanding our biblical counseling ministry. God is already using it powerfully—15–20 sessions a week, lives restored, marriages healed, people finding the hope of Christ in their deepest struggles.
As a church, we don’t want to turn anyone away who needs help. Your giving allows us to launch this ministry fully: adding pastoral leadership, creating counseling spaces, training new counselors and advocates, and supporting a ministry that will serve our church family for years to come.
If you haven’t had a chance yet, would you consider giving toward this year’s Thanks & Giving offering? Every gift directly fuels ministry—people, not projects—so we can walk alongside those who are hurting with the truth and hope of God’s Word.
Let’s keep pressing into the mission Jesus gave us. Let’s keep taking the gospel into every corner of North Polk and into the corners of every heart.
