The Elders have decided that this year since we are no longer an SBC church that the funds we have raised in the past at Christmas will go towards the SOS Matching Grant instead of Lottie Moon. All funds given for Uganda through December 26th will go to this endeavor. Last year you gave $7500.00. Please consider supporting SOS Ministries.
