Dear Mars Hill Family:

​

One of Mars Hill Community Church’s best traditions is to give/receive a special offering at Christmas. We call it the “Gift Offering.” In light of God’s gift to us in His Son, Jesus, we want to offer a special year end gift to His work on earth through our church.

​

Every year we designate a specific use for the Gift Offering. Last year we designated it to help cover the full cost of the new Lodge. By God’s grace, we will be able to move into it very soon with it fully paid for.

​

This year we want the Gift Offering to be used to cover any potential budget short-falls we may experience at year’s end and then begin to re-plenish our “designated fund” which can and will be available for anticipated land and facility expansion needs.

​

Our hope and desire for this special year-end offering is that it will be a prayerful and worshipful experience for every individual and family. To that end, the procedures for the gift offering are simple: 

​

• Each individual and/or family should treat this as a spiritual and personal exercise of worship—praying, thanking God for the greatest gift—Jesus—and asking God to use our financial gifts to bring many people to know Him. Ask God how much He wants you to give for this special gift to His work.
   

• When you’re ready, before or after any service (December 7th, 14th, 21st, or 24th) come in a spirit of prayer together to the manger set up on the stage and put your gift offering in. We have special Gift Offering envelopes available for your use should you wish to use them.

 

Investing our lives in sharing Jesus Christ and growing His followers,

Tom Gray
Senior Pastor
