A Christmas Initiative  

1 Episode

It’s our third biggest weekend of the year! We’re going to raise and give away as much money as we can to support our partner charities, The Lake Area Free Clinic, Family Promise, The Bethany Recovery Center, The Oconomowoc Food Pantry, and more! Why? Because we’re rich! And people who are rich in this present world are to be rich in good deeds. In fact, that’s THE fruit of repentance that John the Baptist identified when people came out to be baptized. So, let’s be the church. Let’s be rich in good deeds. Let’s make our community a better place.
