THE 2012 LOTTIE MOON CHRISTMAS OFFERING IS UNDERWAY!

Christians may have different functions, but we all come together to form the body of Christ. Southern Baptist missionaries can’t carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth without our support. Through our giving, missionaries are freed to concentrate their time and efforts on engaging the unreached with the Gospel. How much will you give to reach the ones who still do not know? Think about what you spend of Christmas gifts for family and friends. Then consider giving your biggest gift to God through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. The 2012 goal is $175 million and Cornerstone's goal is $1,500. What role you will play?
