Dear Faith Family and Friends,

​

It’s that time of year again when we look back on all that God has done and all that He has led us through—what a mighty God we serve. Many people have been helped and blessed in 2023 through our Annual Gift of Hope Offering. This offering has allowed The Rock Church to impact the lives of people and families who have had difficult times throughout the year. The expressions of appreciation and joy these people have shared make us realize the importance of this offering.

 

Scripture has made it very clear that we must help those in need. (Hebrews 13:16 ESV: Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.) Many in our faith family were blessed financially in 2023, while others are struggling. Please consider contributing to this worthwhile offering to help those less fortunate.

 

As a church, we are here to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in Laurel, in Montana, and around the world. Our world has been in such unparalleled turmoil during 2023 that spreading the gospel is more urgent than ever. Part of this offering is to help reach those who do not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In 2022, 178,177 people became new believers, and 102,417 people were baptized. There were 728,489 who heard the gospel, and 21,231 new churches were started. Even with all the good statistics, 3.1K people are dying daily without Christ. Would you partner with us to help those in need and take the gospel here and around the world?

​

 

With the help of your financial contributions and the blessings of the Lord, in 2024 we can:

 

• Help people in our community who need it most.

• Share the gospel through community-wide events and activities.

• Support overseas missionaries and their mission work.

• Continue to keep our building and facilities in good repair to be an example to

our community and those who visit our church.

 

Please seek the Lord’s will as to what He would have you give to the Gift of Hope Offering. On Sunday, December 19, during our worship service, we will have a time of giving and dedication.

​

Because He Lives,

Greg Payton

Lead Pastor
