There is still time to GIVE LOVE

Just a reminder. Mystery is giving 10% of everything given in the month of December toward church planting and missions around the country and the world.

As we are giving and receiving, shopping and buying this season the leaders of Mystery are asking everyone to please set some of the resources God has given you aside for GIVE LOVE. We are asking that over the next couple Sundays, and Christmas Eve you might drop money in the Give Love jars and even write an extra check to Mystery above your normal tithe. None of this will be spent on ourselves the entire 10% will go directly to places and people we love and support through Mystery.

Thanks for your contribution ahead of time. Please be praying that God would move in our own hearts and others to make this a generous time of giving love as Gods people.

This is Christmas

We first posted this video a couple years ago, but its still a great thoughtful presentation to help us understand and think through What is Christmas? Check it out. It might help you worship a little more, or give you some conversation starters for those Christmas parties.

Give Love

We are doing GIVE LOVE again this year! Along with what we're doing in Community Groups, we'll be giving away 10% of our total December offering to our partners in mission here in the US and around the world. Please prayerfully, generously and joyously give to the gospel during this season which can be marked by so much spending and consuming. Gospel generosity is the best way to keep our hearts on the Cross this Christmas.
