Hello, BRN Family! This is Elizabeth and this is the Top Five for December.
#1: November 28 – December 5 is the Lottie Moon Week of Prayer and Christmas Offering for International Missions. As you pray, please consider giving generously to the offering. 100% of your gifts provide missionaries the services they need to live among the unreached peoples they serve. Learn more at imb.org/generosity.
#2: Are you and your church interested in blessing some families with Christmas dinner with all the trimmings? How about bringing joy with a toy and the Nativity Story for Christmas? $300 Evangelism Grants are available for our partnering churches to help with holiday outreach, but hurry! The deadline to apply has been expanded to Dec. 10. Apply at brnunited.org/grants.
#3: As we draw near to the close of 2021, we wanted to urge churches to submit their Annual Church Profile (ACP), which is an important tool for your church, the BRN and the SBC. I invite you to help us recognize God’s work in PA/SJ. Simply submit your report either to www.sbcworkspace.com or to www.brnunited.org/acp. As always our Help Desk stands ready to assist you.
#4: Our goal was 100 churches to sign up for the recently unveiled #LovePASJ initiative. So, far, over 85 churches have requested kits. Do you need one, too? Let us know at lovepasj.com.
#5: And finally, as Christmas approaches, we want you to know that we celebrate you, and we are praying for you, your family, and your churches. May your celebrations be full of the love of Christ! We wish you a Merry Christmas!
That’s it for our December Top 5. Thank you, BRN! We appreciate you and we’re praying for you.
