Dear Friends,
Jesus teaches us to “Love your neighbor as you love yourself” (Matthew 22:39). Our church follows the teaching of Jesus by reaching out to the community and providing for our neighbors’ needs, physical and spiritual alike.
American Baptist Home Mission Societies (ABHMS) is promoting the 2023 America for Christ Offering (AFC 2023) to support American Baptist mission and ministries through our churches and community partners across the United States and Puerto Rico.
The theme for the offering this year is “Grace upon Grace” (John 1:16-17).
From His fullness we have all received,
grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Our gifts to AFC 2023 support regions, churches, and community organizations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico with grants for a variety of purposes, including: chaplaincy and spiritual caregivers support, aid for children living in poverty, new innovative ministries, developing church leaders, promoting discipleship, and scholarships for which our own members may apply.
Our gifts to the America for Christ Offering can work as agents for Grace upon Grace, as we help share the Good News!
Sincerely,
Marilyn E. Glover
For the FBC, Malden
