We will be receiving our semi-annual Alabaster Offering on Sunday, September 19. The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. More than $92 million has been given since its beginning in 1949. Pick up an Alabaster box at the Missions Center. The boxes are a great way to collect your change and also serve as reminders to pray for those people who will benefit from Alabaster buildings.
