Your 1-1-1 Dollars at Work!
We would like to thank you and all the members of the congregations who are supporting the English District Missions and for your participation in 1-1-1.
We want to share with you stories from both missions to include in your weekly church bulletin or newsletter. Spread the word how your simple donation of one dollar per member a week has helped to grow these missions. Click
here
to download bulletin inserts.
It’s never too late to join the fifty-five congregations in sponsoring this program. The more congregations that participate the better it will be to touch lives of others with the Gospel of Jesus.
Here's the plan: $1/per baptized member/per week.
Simple, right? Self-explanatory almost. Easy to do. All can participate. Each baptized member is asked to give one dollar extra per week. $1/per member/per week. Thus, "1-1-1".
Please contact our District Mission Executive, Pastor
Derek Mathers
or

We are happy to share the news that as of the beginning of March the District has received $25,437 from 29 of the 55 congregations participating in 1-1-1 and 6 individuals.
This is the power of many giving little as we are moved by God's Spirit.
Missions is what the Church is called to do by Jesus. Fear can stop us from dreaming big and doing great things.
We are the body of Christ—working together. There is power and strength in many giving a little.
The extra funds for missions that are raised will help support two missions.

Young and old alike are making a difference!
Won’t you join us?
