On January 5th, 2025, Christ's Church will be celebrating our 25th Church Anniversary. 

From the beginning, we have supported Central India Christian Mission (CICM) as one of our main global missions. Christ’s Church will be partnering with 10 other churches, in 2025, to raise money for CICM. 

In the Old Testament, God’s people would give the first fruits from their field, crops, and herds as an offering to God. With that in mind, we will be having a “First Fruits” Giving Sunday on January 5th, 2025. On that Sunday, January 5th, all money raised in our regular offering will be donated to Central India Christian Mission!

We hope you can join us in giving for this special occasion, as well as a way to

celebrate our 25th Church Anniversary.

_______________________________________

From January to April 2025, we will be encouraging our members to raise money selling property that they own, by doing service, or in anyway they choose. We will follow the pattern of the early church.

Act 2:44-45 says, "'All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need."

Acts 4:32-35 says, "'All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need."

On Easter Sunday morning, April 20, 2025, we will bring all of the fruit of our individual efforts as an additional special offering for Central India Christian Mission. All the funds we gather on April 20th will be added to our "First Fruits" offering for Central India Christian Mission.

Please be praying about this and consider what you can give.
