Alabaster Offering
We take an Alabaster offering twice a year. Alabaster is an international building fund of the Church of the Nazarene. It funds land acquisition and projects worldwide for the purpose of erecting buildings of ministry - enabling worship, providing medical care, and educating children. These buildings help provide a sense of permanence, functionally enhance ministry efforts, and convey an attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots."
We're doing something a bit different this next Alabaster Offering, February 16, 2025. Nikki Jones provided our congregation with a list of Reasons to Give toward this offering. Take a look over the list. The list suggests donation amounts for things around your house and things you enjoy doing - a lot of these things are unattainable in underprivileged areas. You can give back by sharing the blessings He has given you. And if you have children at home, please include them! They might think it is a lot of fun counting up the Reasons to Give, as well as putting their math skills to good use! So, here is the list of Reasons to Give
