Christmas Offering
Our elders have determined our annual Christmas Offering will
address three areas this year.
First, we will provide $10,000 to Renewal Ranch, a vital ministry partner of Fellowship that has suffered financially during this COVID season.
Next, we were made aware of some major needs in Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua due to two hurricanes hitting within weeks. In response, the elders have decided to add $2,000 to send in support
of our Nicaragua partners.
Finally, we will put Fellowship on strong financial footing by fulfilling the remaining $130,000 of the Generations campaign before we go to permanent financing February, 2021.
Together, we can make a difference now and into the future by giving to the Christmas Offering. To be part, go to fellowshipconway.org/christmas2020.

We believe that God intended for people to live in
community and we want to encourage you to be a part of our Home Church ministry launching in

Perspectives | January 18 - May 10, 2021 | 2nd Baptist
God has a “world-sized” role for every Christian in His global purpose. Whether people go to distant countries or stay at home is a secondary issue. The primary issue is what most people are hungry to discover: vision to live a life of purpose. Discovering that vision makes this course valuable, and perhaps crucial, for any Christian.
