Connect the Church: Grandparents Night
EAST
We invite everyone to join us for Grandparents night. Whether a physical or spiritual grandparent, we want you and your family to join us for a night of dinner and thanksgiving as we reflect on the Lord’s faithfulness throughout generations.
– February 25th from 6-8 pm @ East Site
– A photographer will be present to capture family portraits so please bring your families (children and grandchildren) with you!
– There will be a time to share testimonies of how God has moved through generations of families – this is a great opportunity to bring your family members who may not know Jesus!
– Alongside our middle and high school students, we are also looking for a few volunteers who will help us run the night
Sign up to attend or volunteer here

2022 Giving Information and Envelopes
CHURCHWIDE
The IRS is allowing individuals to easily deduct up to $300 (up to $600 for married individuals filing jointly) in charitable contributions on their 2021 taxes on top of the standard deduction without needing to itemize. Take full advantage of the giving tax break.
Before filing your 2021 taxes where you’ve claimed a charitable giving deduction, you MUST have already received your giving statement. The IRS can disallow the deduction if the issue date of the statement is after your filing date. Don’t file your 2021 taxes claiming a charitable deduction before you have received your giving statement in January.
If you use giving envelopes (instead of online), pick up your 2022 giving envelopes at the Connections Center of your site beginning 12/12.
