Broadmoor's Advent celebration begins December 1. This year, it comes from Promises Made by Marty Machowski, a Nextgen resource.
Week 1: The Promise of a Savior
Day 3: Genesis 22:15-18
God reaffirms His promise to Abraham after testing him with Isaac.
15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, “By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, 18 and in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
Christmas Events
Giving Generously
Many folks are looking for opportunities to give this Christmas season. If that is you, we encourage you to give to one of these areas this year as you give generously.
Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering (LMCO) goes directly to missionaries serving around the world through the International Mission Board (IMB). These funds help offset ministry needs that regular funding do not cover.
Year End Giving
Did you know that over 15% of Broadmoor’s giving towards the ministry budget of the church comes in December? This month when many of you are reflecting on the many ways God has blessed you and pondering financial goals for the upcoming year, consider giving to the ministry budget of Broadmoor as part of living generously. Click on the button above to give online, or you can drop off a check on Sunday mornings or during church office hours. Remember that all gifts must be dropped in the dropbox at the church (located in the first floor Faith hallway), put in the worship offering taken on Sunday mornings, or postmarked by December 31st to count towards 2024 contributions.
Giving Generously of Our Time
Giving generously does not always have to be monetary. You can also give of your time and resources. Below is a opportunity to do so.
Central Mississippi Correctional Facility Gift Bags
Live generously this Christmas season by gifting the female inmates at Central Mississippi Correctional Facilities (CMCF) with a small gift bag of hygiene products. Broadmoor will collect items in bins around campus from December 1 – 15.
