Mission Contribution Sunday – March 30, 2025

As you think of March 30, do you do so with a yawn or with great excitement? Receiving gifts is OK on Christmas but think of the greatest gift you have ever received. I do not need to tell you that it was the saving message of salvation through our Lord. His ultimate gift came from a cross and with suffering that we can never understand.  I assume you are like me in this sense; you run from pain if possible.  Our Father and His Son ran towards pain because of their love for us. I pray that you have planned to give a significant gift on March 30. For some that may be $40,000; for others $20,000 or $10,000. There will be those who can give a few thousand dollars and others a few hundred dollars. All that the Lord asks is that we give according to our ability. Here is a central thought regarding Mission Sunday: EVERY DOLLAR GIVEN WILL GO TO EITHER (1) WINNING SOULS OR (2) MATURING SOULS. It is truly a unique contribution, and my prayer is that each of us will prayerfully consider what the Lord has given to us so we can give for the souls of others.
