They’ve Been Gifted: Giving with Eternity in Mind!

…if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Romans 12:8

God is mindful of how we give.

God is the Ultimate Giver. And, believers are urged to be like Him. So, the motives and attitudes behind our giving are important to Him.

Believers have options other than retail malls.

Christ Community Chapel, with campuses in Hudson, Aurora, Stow and Highland Square, will offer They’ve Been Gifted this year, on the weekend of December 3^rd and 4^th.  Christmas gifts purchased at this event bless both the recipient, and a Christian justice & mercy related ministry.  One hundred percent of the proceeds from purchases go to CCC local ministry partners, such as Mobility Worldwide Stow-OH, or global ministry partners such as Destiny Rescue.  The gift recipient will receive a card explaining the mission of the related ministry.

Volunteers from Mobility Worldwide Stow-OH, which manufactures PET mobility carts for the leg impaired in developing countries, will be on hand at They've Been Gifted this year. There will be opportunities to sponsor the building and shipping of mobility carts in honor of or in memory of a loved one via a $5,000 fund matching pledge!

Gift purchases can be made to benefit justice & mercy ministries related to the heartbeat of the recipient, for a more meaningful Christmas.

Giving with eternity in mind!

Too often the social pressure for gift giving at Christmas blurs the true meaning of the celebration. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!

Please prayerfully consider They’ve Been Gifted in your shopping plans this year.  By helping justice & mercy related ministry partners, you’re investing in the Kingdom of God, and in the eternal well being of those served by these partners.
